What the classification says
The leading value belongs to the other symbol class, recorded as So. This property helps software treat the text correctly. It does not decide the sequence's meaning in every setting.
How text software may read it
- Text direction: its bidirectional property marks it as a strong left-to-right value.
- Display width: Unicode classifies the leading value as neutral under the East Asian Width property.
- Combining order: its canonical combining class is zero, so it carries no non-zero canonical reordering weight.
Where the encoded value sits
The ordered sequence begins with U+1F1ED and ends with U+1F1F0. Its 2 parts use Supplementary Multilingual Plane.
Read the sequence in order
The visible result depends on keeping these parts together and in this order. Inspect a row when editing or debugging changes to the sequence.
| Part | Formal name | Code point | Decimal | UTF-8 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇭 | REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER H | U+1F1ED | 127,469 | F0 9F 87 AD |
| 🇰 | REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER K | U+1F1F0 | 127,472 | F0 9F 87 B0 |
Transformation behavior for 🇭🇰
Normalization result
Applying NFC, NFD, NFKC, or NFKD preserves this exact encoded value: U+1F1ED U+1F1F0. Normalization does not create a simpler or compatibility-equivalent sequence for this record.
| Form | Rendered result | Code points | Compared with input |
|---|---|---|---|
| NFC | 🇭🇰 | U+1F1ED U+1F1F0 | Unchanged |
| NFD | 🇭🇰 | U+1F1ED U+1F1F0 | Unchanged |
| NFKC | 🇭🇰 | U+1F1ED U+1F1F0 | Unchanged |
| NFKD | 🇭🇰 | U+1F1ED U+1F1F0 | Unchanged |
Mirroring behavior
The leading code point's Unicode mirrored property is No. The Unicode database does not mark this value for glyph mirroring in bidirectional layout.
Regional-indicator construction
This flag sequence combines regional indicators U+1F1ED and U+1F1F0 to spell ISO-style region code HK, representing Hong Kong. Unsupported renderers may show the two indicator letters instead of one flag image.
Using the exact value
Copy and source representation
Copy the complete sequence, then verify the stored result inside its intended destination. The copy-and-paste guide explains how to check multi-part values. In UTF-8 source, the literal value can usually be used directly; its hexadecimal HTML reference is 🇭🇰. The code point converter provides language-specific escape forms.
This record belongs to the site's Flags & Countries collection. Its collection-specific guidance is: Flags represent regions and identities, and their political meaning may depend on context. Use neutral names and avoid implying endorsement.
Meaning and rendering boundary
Treat the formal name as an identity label, not a universal interpretation. Use the meaning-research method for cultural or technical context. Fonts control the glyph; if it becomes a box, follow the font-coverage diagnostic.
