How to choose flags & countries

Flags represent regions and identities, and their political meaning may depend on context. Use neutral names and avoid implying endorsement.

Most country flags are sequences of two regional indicator characters. They are not single Unicode characters and must be copied intact.

A four-part check
  1. Identify the assigned Unicode label and U+ value.
  2. Select every component of the sequence.
  3. Try the result inside its intended application.
  4. State important information with words as well.

Rendering and compatibility

Unsupported flag sequences may appear as two letters. Platform sets also differ in which subdivision flags they support.

Unicode defines character identity, while fonts and platforms draw the result. A different shape does not automatically mean a different character; an empty box usually means missing font coverage.

Sources and review boundary

Formal character names and core properties are derived from Python's Unicode database for this build, then presented against the Unicode Character Database model. Curated group labels and usage notes are editorial organization, not normative Unicode classifications.
