Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🇺🇸 mean in a text message?▼
The flag of the United States of America, featuring 50 white stars on a blue field and 13 alternating red and white stripes. It represents the world's largest economy and a global cultural powerhouse. Use when referring to the United States, American culture, patriotic holidays like July 4th, or anything related to American life. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
Why are flag emoji made of two letters?▼
Flag emoji use a system called Regional Indicator Symbols. Each flag is actually two invisible Unicode characters — the country's ISO 3166-1 two-letter code — which platforms combine into a flag image. This is why flags work differently from other emoji.
Does 🇺🇸 display on all devices?▼
Most country flags display correctly on iOS, Android, and macOS. Windows has historically shown flag emoji as two-letter country codes (like "US") instead of flag images, though this is improving. Some subdivision flags (like states or provinces) have very limited support.
What is the shortcode for 🇺🇸?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:us:` to insert the United States Flag emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
