U+1F1F1 "🇱" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter L Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🇱
U+1F1F1 "🇱" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter L is part of a special set of 26 alphabetical characters used to represent country flags in digital text. It does not depict a flag on its own but instead functions as a control character that pairs with another regional indicator letter to form a two letter country code, such as combining with U+1F1F9 "🇹" to create the flag of Lithuania (LT) or with U+1F1F2 "🇲" for the flag of Latvia (LM). This system allows software and platforms to display national flags as emoji sequences by rendering the two letters as a single graphical symbol.
