About the Iceland flag emoji
Flag of Iceland, a red Nordic cross edged in white on blue. The emoji is ๐ฎ๐ธ. The characters behind the Iceland flag are the regional indicators for I and S, spelling IS; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Icelandโs. Windows has no flag artwork, so there IS appears as the letters I S. Iceland (IS) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); IS renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy IS from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Iceland with the other Europe flags, such as Sweden, listed beside Iceland.
