U+1F1FC "🇼" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter W Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🇼
U+1F1FC "🇼" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter W is part of a set of 26 letters from A to Z designed specifically for representing national flags through sequences of two regional indicator symbols. It does not represent an independent character for everyday text but instead functions as a building block in pairs, such as with the letter S to form the flag of Wales or with the letter E for Wallis and Futuna, allowing software to display a corresponding emoji flag when a valid country or territory code is typed. Its visual appearance is typically that of a stylized uppercase W within a square or rounded rectangle, though the exact design varies by platform and operating system.
