Regional indicator symbol letter o Emoji

Flags

A blue square featuring the letter 'O' in white, styled like an icon on a digital keyboard. This character serves as a building block for forming two-letter country code abbreviations.

Usage Context

You will rarely see this character by itself. Instead, it is used in pairs to trigger a device to render a specific national flag. For instance, combining this with 🇷 generates the flag of Oman. It is the backbone of emoji-based geolocation and international identity.

History

These regional indicators were added to the Unicode standard in 2010 to allow systems to translate standardized ISO country codes into graphical flags without needing a separate emoji for every nation on Earth.
