What is in the Flags category

Flags covers the national flags of the world, the regional flags for England, Scotland and Wales, and the small set of special flags used for celebrations and events.

The ones people actually use

Country flags are used for travel posts, sport and, more often than anything else, to say where the person posting is from. The rainbow flag is the most used of the non-national ones.

The first 26, with their official names

Unicode gives every emoji an English name. Knowing the name is useful, because it is what the search box matches and what other people use when they describe an emoji to you.

How to copy and paste flags emoji

Every character on this page is a button, and the steps are identical on a phone, a tablet and a desktop:

• Tap or click the flags emoji you want. A short confirmation appears at the bottom of the screen and the character is now on your clipboard.
• Go to where you want it. A chat box, a social bio, a display name, a document, a spreadsheet cell, a caption — anything that accepts typing.
• Paste it. Long-press and choose Paste on a phone, or press Ctrl+V on Windows and Command+V on a Mac. The character lands at the cursor.

Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded. These are standard Unicode characters, so the device you are already holding knows how to draw them.

Where these characters work, and where they do not

Ordinary text is safe everywhere. The problems start with two groups: characters that need a font the receiving device may not ship with, and applications that deliberately filter what you can type.

The practical rule: if you are decorating a bio or a document, paste freely. If you are building a username that has to survive a game login screen, start with one character, confirm it appears, then add the rest.
