Two flags that look the same

U.S. Outlying Islands flag is a second emoji, made of the letters U and M. Wikipedia records that platforms draw it with the United States flag, so the two can look alike while being different characters. Liberia flag, whose flag closely resembles the American one, has one star. The five territories each have a flag emoji of their own.

The flag as a block

The real flag has thirteen stripes, red and white in turn, and fifty stars. Flag block with thirteen stripes keeps every stripe. The smaller blocks do not, and say so. Stars and Stripes in keyboard characters needs no emoji at all.

Questions and answers

Why does the American flag emoji show as US?

Because it is two characters, regional indicator U and regional indicator S. Unicode's emoji standard lets a regional indicator be displayed as a capital letter, so a system with no flag pictures can show U and S. Elsewhere the same two characters show the flag.

Is there an American flag emoticon?

An emoticon is typed with keyboard characters, and no standard one is a flag. Stars and Stripes in keyboard characters, in the flag blocks, is drawn with plus signs, hyphens, vertical bars, asterisks and the letter R, and pastes where emoji are refused.

Is there an emoji for a US state flag?

Not in the set Unicode recommends: its only flags for part of a country are England, Scotland and Wales. The territories are different: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands each have one.

When is Flag Day?

June 14. The day marks the adoption of the flag on June 14, 1777. Flag Day, June 14 🇺🇸 is a line ready to paste, next to lines for Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Independence Day.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-01 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); each flag was checked against the list of recommended flag sequences, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-sequences.txt). In that list the United States flag is U+1F1FA U+1F1F8, regional indicators U and S, Emoji 0.6, and the only flags for a part of a country are England, Scotland and Wales, so no US state flag is in the recommended set. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). Unicode Technical Standard 51, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/) defines a flag emoji as a sequence of two Regional Indicator characters and says a single one may be displayed as a capital letter. Unicode data is used under the Unicode terms of use (https://www.unicode.org/terms_of_use.html). Facts about the flag and its days are restated from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0): thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white, fifty stars in nine rows, and platforms drawing the U.S. Outlying Islands emoji with the same flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States); Flag Day on June 14, for the adoption of the flag in 1777 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_Day_(United_States)); Memorial Day on the last Monday in May (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day); Veterans Day on November 11 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day); Independence Day on July 4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)); the flag of Liberia's close likeness to the United States flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Liberia); the five permanently inhabited territories (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States); the Minor Outlying Islands shown under the United States flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Minor_Outlying_Islands); country calling code 1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan). The text lines, the rows of red, white and blue, the four blocks and the combos are this site's own work; the blocks were drawn for this page. Flags are named as the Unicode list names them and nothing more is said about any place. Licence: own work
