About the Spain flag emoji
๐ช๐ธ is the flag of Spain: red, yellow and red horizontal bands, the yellow twice as wide, with the coat of arms toward the hoist. Like every country flag, the Spain emoji is really two regional indicator letters, E and S, spelling the ISO code ES; side by side, ES merge into the Spain flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there ES appears as the letters E S. Spain was one of the ten original flag emoji (2010); ES renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy ES from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Spain with the other Europe flags, such as Serbia, listed beside Spain.
