Regional Indicator Symbol Letter G is a Unicode emoji component at U+1F1EC, one of the 26 regional indicator symbols used to build country/region flag emoji. It does not function as a typical standalone emoji; instead, it is designed to be paired with another regional indicator symbol to represent an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (for example, G + B β flag for the United Kingdom, G + H β Ghana, G + I β Gibraltar, G + L β Greenland, G + M β Gambia, G + N β Guinea, G + G β Guernsey). As a single character it may appear as a lettered tile-style symbol or a fallback box depending on platform and font support, and it is primarily meaningful only within a two-letter sequence. These characters have emoji presentation by default and do not use ZWJ or variation selectors to form flags; composition relies solely on the adjacency of two regional indicator symbols.
In modern platforms, including Apple/iOS, a supported two-letter pairing with Letter G will typically render as the corresponding national or regional flag; if the pairing is not recognized, users will usually see two separate regional indicator tiles instead of a flag. Input methods and keyboards often insert both letters automatically when a flag is chosen, but copying a single regional indicator may still show a visible tile or, on some systems, a missing-glyph box. Rendering behavior follows Unicodeβs recommendation that only pairs should be interpreted as flags, and longer runs are processed as sequential pairs. Developers should treat this character as a building block for flag emoji rather than a standalone pictograph.
The letter G is represented using a Unicode regional indicator symbol.
