About the Iraq flag emoji
The Iraq flag emoji ๐ฎ๐ถ shows red, white and black horizontal bands with the takbir in green Kufic script. Under the hood, IQ is the regional indicator symbols I Q; the Iraq flag appears whenever I and Q are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there IQ appears as the letters I Q. Iraq (IQ) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); IQ renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy IQ from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Iraq with the other Middle East flags, such as Oman, listed beside Iraq.
