About the Kenya flag emoji
The Kenya flag emoji ๐ฐ๐ช shows black, red and green bands separated by white, with a Maasai shield and two spears. Under the hood, KE is the regional indicator symbols K E; the Kenya flag appears whenever K and E are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there KE appears as the letters K E. Kenya (KE) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); KE renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy KE from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Kenya with the other Africa flags, such as Guinea, listed beside Kenya.
