About the Saudi Arabia flag emoji
The shahada in white Arabic script above a white sword on green — that is the Saudi Arabia flag as an emoji, 🇸🇦. The Saudi Arabia flag is built from the regional indicator letters S and A, the two-letter code SA, which fonts join into the single Saudi Arabia flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there SA appears as the letters S A. Saudi Arabia (SA) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); SA renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy SA from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Saudi Arabia with the other Middle East flags, such as Yemen, listed beside Saudi Arabia.
