Regional Indicator Symbol

The regional indicator symbols are a set of 26 alphabetic Unicode characters (Aโ€“Z) intended to be used to encode ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 two-letter country codes in a way that allows optional special treatment.

These were defined as part of the Unicode 6.0 support for emoji, as an alternative to encoding separate characters for each country flag. Although they can be displayed as Roman letters, it is intended that implementations may choose to display them in other ways, such as by using national flags.[1][2] The Unicode FAQ indicates that this mechanism should be used and that symbols for national flags will not be directly encoded.[3]

They are encoded in the range U+1F1E6 ๐Ÿ‡ฆ regional indicator symbol letter a (HTML 🇦) to U+1F1FF ๐Ÿ‡ฟ regional indicator symbol letter z (HTML 🇿) within the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane.[4]

Emoji flag sequences

A pair of regional indicator symbols is referred to as an emoji flag sequence (although it represents a specific region, not a specific flag for that region).[5]

Out of the 676 possible pairs of regional indicator symbols (26 ร— 26), only 270 are considered valid Unicode region codes. These are a subset of the region sequences in the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR):[5][6][7]

Background

In 2007 a draft proposal was presented to the Unicode Technical Committee to encode emoji symbols, specifically those in widespread use on mobile phones by Japanese telecommunications companies DoCoMo, KDDI, and SoftBank.[12] The proposed symbols included ten national flags:[13] China (๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ), Germany (๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช), Spain (๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ), France (๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท), the UK (๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง), Italy (๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น), Japan (๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต), South Korea (๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท), Russia (๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ), and the United States (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ). Encoding these flags but not other countries' flags was considered, by some, as prejudicial.[14] One rejected solution was to encode the ten flags but call them "EMOJI COMPATIBILITY SYMBOL-n" and represent them visually in the Standard as "EC n" instead of showing the flags they represent.[15] Another rejected solution would have allocated 676 codepoints (26 x 26) for each possible two letter combination of Aโ€“Z. They would represent political entities based on ISO 3166 such as "FR" for France or Internet ccTLDs (country code top-level domains) such as "EU" for the European Union.[16]

The accepted solution was to add 26 characters for letters used for the representation of regional indicators, which used in pairs would represent the ten national flags and possible future extensions.[2] Per the Unicode Standard "the main purpose of such [regional indicator symbol] pairs is to provide unambiguous roundtrip mappings to certain characters used in the emoji core sets"[17] specifically the ten national flags:[18] ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ, ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ, ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง, ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต, ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท, ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ, and ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ.
