About the Taiwan flag emoji
A red field with a white sun on a blue canton — that is the Taiwan flag as an emoji, 🇹🇼. The Taiwan flag is built from the regional indicator letters T and W, the two-letter code TW, which fonts join into the single Taiwan flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there TW appears as the letters T W. Taiwan (TW) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); TW renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy TW from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Taiwan with the other Asia flags, such as Maldives, listed beside Taiwan.
