U+1F1FF "🇿" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Z Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🇿
U+1F1FF "🇿" Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Z is a special code point that does not represent an independent character but instead functions as part of a pair of regional indicator symbols to form a country or region flag emoji, specifically representing the letter Z in a two letter country code as defined by the ISO 3166 standard. When combined with another regional indicator, such as the letter A (U+1F1E6), the sequence produces the flag for South Africa ("🇿🇦"), allowing software and platforms to display national flags dynamically without storing individual flag images for every possible combination.
