About the Hong Kong flag emoji
🇭🇰 is the flag of Hong Kong: a white five-petalled bauhinia flower on red. Like every country flag, the Hong Kong emoji is really two regional indicator letters, H and K, spelling the ISO code HK; side by side, HK merge into the Hong Kong flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there HK appears as the letters H K. Hong Kong (HK) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); HK renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy HK from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Hong Kong with the other Asia flags, such as Singapore, listed beside Hong Kong.
