About the Philippines flag emoji
Flag of Philippines, blue over red with a white triangle at the hoist holding a golden sun and three stars. The emoji is šµš. The characters behind the Philippines flag are the regional indicators for P and H, spelling PH; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Philippinesās. Windows has no flag artwork, so there PH appears as the letters P H. Philippines (PH) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); PH renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy PH from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Philippines with the other Asia flags, such as Myanmar, listed beside Philippines.
