About the Somalia flag emoji
Flag of Somalia, a white five-pointed star on light blue. The emoji is 🇸🇴. The characters behind the Somalia flag are the regional indicators for S and O, spelling SO; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Somalia’s. Windows has no flag artwork, so there SO appears as the letters S O. Somalia (SO) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); SO renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy SO from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Somalia with the other Africa flags, such as Kenya, listed beside Somalia.
