Blue goes on top
The flag is a blue band over a red one, with a white triangle at the hoist. Flown with the red side up it signals a state of war, which Wikipedia calls a feature unique to this flag. An emoji cannot be turned over, and every block here keeps blue on top.
Three stars and a sun
That is the flag's other name. The sun has eight rays, for the eight provinces that rose against Spain in 1896, and a star sits at each corner of the triangle for Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. Sun and three stars is the four in a row.
The flag days start on 28 May, Flag Day in May, and take in 12 June, Araw ng Kalayaan.
The sun on the 1898 flag had a face, taken off in 1936. Sun with face is here for that one.
Questions and answers
Is there a Philippines emoji besides the flag?
CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files no emoji under philippines or filipino, so the flag is the Philippines emoji. For what is on it, take Sun and three stars. For the money, Peso sign.
Is there a Philippines flag emoticon?
None is standard. Philippines flag in keyboard characters draws one inside a frame: B for blue, R for red, an O for the sun and an asterisk for each star.
Why does the Philippine flag emoji show as PH?
The emoji is the two letters P and H. Unicode's emoji standard lets a system with no picture for the pair show each one as a letter. The copy still worked: paste it where flags are drawn and the flag appears.
