About the Samoa flag emoji
A red field with a blue canton bearing the Southern Cross โ that is the Samoa flag as an emoji, ๐ผ๐ธ. The Samoa flag is built from the regional indicator letters W and S, the two-letter code WS, which fonts join into the single Samoa flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there WS appears as the letters W S. Samoa (WS) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); WS renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy WS from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Samoa with the other Oceania flags, such as Australia, listed beside Samoa.
