Regional indicator symbol letter t Emoji

Flags

A blue square featuring a bold, white capital letter 'T'. This character is part of a specific set used to construct flag icons by pairing two regional indicator symbols together.

Usage Context

While it serves as the letter T in standard text, its primary function is to act as one half of a country flag sequence. When placed next to another regional indicator, the system combines them to render the national flag of a specific country, such as the flag of Thailand or Tunisia.

History

These regional indicator symbols were introduced as part of the Unicode 6.0 update in 2010. They were designed to provide a systematic, extensible way to represent every country's flag without needing to manually add every individual flag graphic to the character set.
