About the Libya flag emoji
Red, black and green horizontal bands with a white crescent and star on the wide black centre โ that is the Libya flag as an emoji, ๐ฑ๐พ. The Libya flag is built from the regional indicator letters L and Y, the two-letter code LY, which fonts join into the single Libya flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there LY appears as the letters L Y. Libya (LY) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); LY renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy LY from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Libya with the other Africa flags, such as Kenya, listed beside Libya.
