🇽🇰Flag: Kosovo Emoji
Tagged XK, flag, 🇽🇰 flag: Kosovo sits in Unicode's Country Flags group inside Flags. It was introduced in Emoji 2.0 (2015) at U+1F1FD U+1F1F0.
Not seeing the flag? Windows has never included country flag glyphs, so Chrome and Edge draw the two letters XK instead of 🇽🇰. Nothing is wrong with the character — copy it and it appears correctly on iPhone, Android and Mac, and in WhatsApp, Instagram and Discord. This page loads a flag font so it draws properly here regardless.
What 🇽🇰 flag: Kosovo means
Country flags do identity work: nationality in a bio, a football result, the language somebody is learning, a trip just booked, a dish claimed as local. Each one is a pair of regional indicator letters matching a two-letter ISO 3166-1 code rather than a picture, so a device without the artwork simply shows the two letters. Windows has done this for years.
Unicode tags this one XK, flag and files it under Flags → Country Flags.
