About the Malaysia flag emoji
🇲🇾 is the flag of Malaysia: fourteen red and white stripes with a yellow crescent and 14-pointed star on a blue canton. Like every country flag, the Malaysia emoji is really two regional indicator letters, M and Y, spelling the ISO code MY; side by side, MY merge into the Malaysia flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there MY appears as the letters M Y. Malaysia (MY) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); MY renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy MY from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Malaysia with the other Asia flags, such as Timor-Leste, listed beside Malaysia.
