About the Norway flag emoji
The Norway flag emoji 🇳🇴 shows a blue Nordic cross edged in white on red. Under the hood, NO is the regional indicator symbols N O; the Norway flag appears whenever N and O are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there NO appears as the letters N O. Norway (NO) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); NO renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy NO from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Norway with the other Europe flags, such as Sark, listed beside Norway.

Norwegian flag design
The flag has a red field with a blue cross outlined in white. The design dates back to 1821 and combines colours from the Danish flag with the blue of Sweden, reflecting Norway's history of unions with both countries.
The flag's proportions are 8:11, with the vertical part of the cross shifted towards the hoist. That offset is a feature shared with other Nordic cross flags. Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland use the same layout with their own colours.
