Regional Indicator Symbol Letter B (U+1F1E7) is one of the 26 regional indicator symbols used to construct country and subdivision flags in emoji. It is not a standalone flag; instead, it combines with another regional indicator symbol to represent an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 region code (for example, B + R → 🇧🇷 Brazil, B + E → 🇧🇪 Belgium, B + D → 🇧🇩 Bangladesh). Most platforms detect a valid pair and render a single flag emoji; if the pair does not map to a recognized region code, the two symbols are shown individually. This character is visible by itself and typically appears as a boxed or squared letter “B,” rather than being invisible or acting as a modifier.
The letter B is represented using a Unicode regional indicator symbol.
