Not seeing the flag? Windows has never included country flag glyphs, so Chrome and Edge draw the two letters 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: Scotland means

Only three subdivision flags are widely supported: England, Scotland and Wales. Each is built differently from a country flag, using the black flag 🏴 followed by invisible tag characters that spell out an ISO 3166-2 code and then a terminator, so unsupported systems fall back to a plain black flag. In practice they appear around football and rugby fixtures and in bios.

Unicode tags this one flag, gbsct and files it under Flags → Subdivision Flags.
