About the Uganda flag emoji
The Uganda flag emoji 🇺🇬 shows six black, yellow and red stripes with a grey crowned crane in a white disc. Under the hood, UG is the regional indicator symbols U G; the Uganda flag appears whenever U and G are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there UG appears as the letters U G. Uganda (UG) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); UG renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy UG from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Uganda with the other Africa flags, such as Guinea, listed beside Uganda.
