Information

Regional Indicator Symbol Letter K (U+1F1F0) is one of 26 special symbols used to build country/region flag emoji from ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. It does not function as a normal Latin letter K for text; instead, it is intended to be paired with another Regional Indicator to form a two-character emoji flag sequence (for example, K + R → KR for South Korea, K + P → KP for North Korea, K + E → KE for Kenya, K + W → KW for Kuwait). When a valid pair is recognized, rendering engines combine the two code points into a single flag glyph as one grapheme cluster. If used alone, it typically displays as a boxed or squared “K” symbol, and does not represent any flag by itself.

Definition

The letter K is represented using a Unicode regional indicator symbol.
