About the Mauritania flag emoji
The Mauritania flag emoji 🇲🇷 shows a gold crescent and star on green between two red horizontal stripes. Under the hood, MR is the regional indicator symbols M R; the Mauritania flag appears whenever M and R are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there MR appears as the letters M R. Mauritania (MR) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); MR renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy MR from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Mauritania with the other Africa flags, such as Rwanda, listed beside Mauritania.
