About the U.S. Virgin Islands flag emoji
A white field with a yellow eagle holding an olive branch and arrows between the blue letters V and I — that is the U.S. Virgin Islands flag as an emoji, 🇻🇮. The U.S. Virgin Islands flag is built from the regional indicator letters V and I, the two-letter code VI, which fonts join into the single U.S. Virgin Islands flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there VI appears as the letters V I. U.S. Virgin Islands (VI) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); VI renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy VI from the card; the flag emoji hub groups U.S. Virgin Islands with the other Caribbean flags, such as Dominican Republic, listed beside U.S. Virgin Islands.

St Thomas and the U.S. Virgin Islands flag emoji
St Thomas is the busiest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, home to Charlotte Amalie and many cruise-ship visits. Like St John and St Croix, it has no flag of its own in the emoji set — the territory flag 🇻🇮 is the one to use for a St Thomas flag emoji. It shows a simplified version of the U.S. coat of arms: a yellow eagle holding an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other, with the letters V and I in blue on either side. When you see 🇻🇮 next to a post about Magens Bay or a Charlotte Amalie trip, it is the whole territory being represented, not just one island.
- Tag a St Thomas photo dump with 🇻🇮 — it reads as U.S. Virgin Islands pride.
- Use 🇻🇮 in a travel bio: “St Thomas, USVI 🇻🇮” tells people exactly where you are.
- Pair 🇻🇮 with ✈️ or 🏖️ in a message about flying to St Thomas.
