Regional Indicator Symbol Letter V is a Unicode emoji component (U+1F1FB) used to construct flag emoji via pairs of regional indicator symbols. It is combined with a second regional indicator to represent an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country or region code. When paired correctly, platforms render the two-character sequence as a single flag glyph, for example V+N β VN (Vietnam), V+A β VA (Vatican City), V+E β VE (Venezuela), V+G β VG (British Virgin Islands), V+I β VI (U.S. Virgin Islands), and V+U β VU (Vanuatu). No zero width joiner is used; adjacency of the two regional indicators defines the flag sequence.
On its own, this character typically displays as a standalone regional indicator symbolβoften a boxed or squared capital Vβthough exact styling depends on the platform. On Apple/iOS and most modern systems, a single regional indicator remains visible as a symbol, while two in succession are automatically combined into a flag; in older or unsupported environments it may show as a fallback glyph. It is not the regular Latin letter βVβ for text, carries emoji-related properties, and does not respond to emoji/text variation selectors. Developers should use it strictly as an emoji component for flag construction and avoid inserting spaces or joiners between paired indicators. It does not produce subdivision flags (which use tag sequences with a black flag base) and carries no independent semantic meaning outside flag codes.
The letter V is represented using a Unicode regional indicator symbol.
