About the United Kingdom flag emoji
The United Kingdom flag emoji is built from two regional indicator symbols spelling the country code GB, which together resolve to the codepoints U+1F1EC U+1F1E7. That is why it is a single glyph rather than an image.
Rendering depends on the platform: Apple, Google, Microsoft and Twitter each ship their own artwork, and some Windows builds show the two letters instead of a flag. The underlying characters are identical everywhere, so a copy of the United Kingdom flag pasted into any system carries the same meaning.
