Regional Indicator Symbol Letter H is a Unicode emoji component at code point U+1F1ED that represents the Latin letter H specifically for building flag emoji. It is designed to be used in pairs with other regional indicator symbols to encode ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country or region codes, which most platforms render as flag emojis. By itself, it is not meant for normal text and typically appears as a boxed or squared letter-style symbol, or as a fallback glyph if the font lacks support. It does not modify skin tone, gender, or other emoji; its sole purpose is to help compose flag sequences.
When placed next to another regional indicator, the two characters form a flag sequence without needing a zero-width joiner or variation selector. For example, combinations involving H can produce flags such as CH (Switzerland), GH (Ghana), EH (Western Sahara), HK (Hong Kong SAR China), HN (Honduras), HU (Hungary), KH (Cambodia), MH (Marshall Islands), PH (Philippines), SH (St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha), TH (Thailand), and BH (Bahrain). If the two-letter pair is not recognized as a valid region code on a platform, users will generally see two separate regional indicator symbols rather than a flag glyph. On Apple/iOS, a single symbol normally displays as a visible boxed âH,â while supported pairs render as a single flag emoji.
This character has emoji presentation by default on major platforms, but it does not change the presentation of other emoji and is not used with variation selectors. It is part of the broader set of Regional Indicator Symbols (AâZ) used only for flags and should not be confused with the ASCII/Latin letter H. The character is visible on its own, but is primarily meaningful as part of a two-letter regional indicator pair. It is unrelated to tag sequences (used for subdivision flags like GB-ENG) and does not use ZWJ joiners.
The letter H is represented using a Unicode regional indicator symbol.
