About the South Sudan flag emoji
The South Sudan flag emoji 🇸🇸 shows black, red and green bands edged in white with a blue triangle and gold star at the hoist. Under the hood, SS is the regional indicator symbols S S; the South Sudan flag appears whenever S and S are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there SS appears as the letters S S. South Sudan (SS) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); SS renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy SS from the card; the flag emoji hub groups South Sudan with the other Africa flags, such as Lesotho, listed beside South Sudan.
