About the Uruguay flag emoji
๐บ๐พ is the flag of Uruguay: nine white and blue stripes with the golden Sun of May on a white canton. Like every country flag, the Uruguay emoji is really two regional indicator letters, U and Y, spelling the ISO code UY; side by side, UY merge into the Uruguay flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there UY appears as the letters U Y. Uruguay (UY) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); UY renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy UY from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Uruguay with the other South America flags, such as Falkland Islands, listed beside Uruguay.
