About the Nigeria flag emoji
Green, white and green vertical bands โ that is the Nigeria flag as an emoji, ๐ณ๐ฌ. The Nigeria flag is built from the regional indicator letters N and G, the two-letter code NG, which fonts join into the single Nigeria flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there NG appears as the letters N G. Nigeria (NG) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); NG renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy NG from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Nigeria with the other Africa flags, such as Chad, listed beside Nigeria.
