Unicode sequence for 🇿🇦
The South Africa flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code ZA. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Z
- 🇿 · U+1F1FF
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter A
- 🇦 · U+1F1E6
Full sequence: U+1F1FF U+1F1E6. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
