What does ๐ป๐ฎ U.S. Virgin Islands Flag mean?
A white field with a simplified golden eagle holding an olive branch and three arrows, one for each main island, between the blue letters V and I. The U.S. Virgin Islands are a US territory in the Caribbean, and the flag appears in posts about St Thomas, St John and St Croix, cruise stops, snorkelling and Carnival.
Technically, ๐ป๐ฎ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ป ๐ฎ, which spell the region code VI. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters VI instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ป๐ฎ U.S. Virgin Islands Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
