🇲🇺Flag: Mauritius Emoji
🇲🇺 flag: Mauritius is encoded at U+1F1F2 U+1F1FA and shipped with Emoji 2.0 (2015). Unicode files it under Flags → Country Flags, alongside 258 related emojis.
Not seeing the flag? Windows has never included country flag glyphs, so Chrome and Edge draw the two letters MU 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: Mauritius 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 MU, flag and files it under Flags → Country Flags.
