About the Mexico flag emoji
Flag of Mexico, green, white and red vertical bands with the eagle and serpent coat of arms on the white. The emoji is 🇲🇽. The characters behind the Mexico flag are the regional indicators for M and X, spelling MX; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Mexico’s. Windows has no flag artwork, so there MX appears as the letters M X. Mexico (MX) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); MX renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy MX from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Mexico with the other North America flags, such as Canada, listed beside Mexico.
