About the Malawi flag emoji
Black, red and green horizontal bands with a red rising sun on the black โ that is the Malawi flag as an emoji, ๐ฒ๐ผ. The Malawi flag is built from the regional indicator letters M and W, the two-letter code MW, which fonts join into the single Malawi flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there MW appears as the letters M W. Malawi (MW) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); MW renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy MW from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Malawi with the other Africa flags, such as Botswana, listed beside Malawi.
