About the Zimbabwe flag emoji
🇿🇼 is the flag of Zimbabwe: seven green, yellow, red and black stripes with a white triangle at the hoist holding the Zimbabwe Bird on a red star. Like every country flag, the Zimbabwe emoji is really two regional indicator letters, Z and W, spelling the ISO code ZW; side by side, ZW merge into the Zimbabwe flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there ZW appears as the letters Z W. Zimbabwe (ZW) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); ZW renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy ZW from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Zimbabwe with the other Africa flags, such as Mayotte, listed beside Zimbabwe.
