Unicode Version 17.0

U+1F1F7 "🇷" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter R is one of the 26 alphabetic symbols in the Regional Indicator set, which are used in combination to form flag emojis for countries and territories via the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. Specifically, when paired with another regional indicator letter, such as U+1F1F1 "🇱" for L, this character creates the flag emoji for Russia ("🇷🇺"). It is not a standard letter for text composition but a special rendering sequence that, on supporting platforms, displays as a flag glyph rather than as a standalone letter.
