African Flag Emojis: All 65, Copy & Paste

Africa has the largest set of country flags on any continent, and every one of its 54 states has an emoji. This page lists them alongside 11 more that sit on or off the African coast: ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ช Rรฉunion and ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡น Mayotte, which are part of France; ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ญ St. Helena with its dependencies ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ Ascension Island and ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฆ Tristan da Cunha; Spain's ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡จ Canary Islands and ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ceuta & Melilla; the British Indian Ocean Territory ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ด and its atoll ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Diego Garcia; the French Southern Territories ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ซ; and ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ Western Sahara. That makes 65 in total. If you only want the countries, the first 54 tiles are the member states in alphabetical order by their English names.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many African flag emojis are there?

54, one for each African country. Counting territories and special codes such as ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ช Rรฉunion, ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ญ St. Helena and ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡จ the Canary Islands, there are 65 flag emojis tied to Africa, and all of them are on this page.

Is there a flag emoji for the African Union?

No. Unicode has a flag for the ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ European Union and the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ United Nations, both spelled with special reserved codes, but the African Union has never been given one. ๐ŸŒ is the usual stand-in for the continent as a whole.

Why does the Chad flag look like Romania's?

The real flags are both blue, yellow and red stripes; Chad's blue is darker. Apple, Google and Twitter/X draw that difference, but in our 2026-10-18 comparison OpenMoji's ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฉ and ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด were identical images.

Five codes that are not on the ISO list

Most flags here are spelled with a country's official two-letter ISO code, so ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ช is K plus E. Five are not. AC for Ascension, TA for Tristan da Cunha, DG for Diego Garcia, IC for the Canary Islands and EA for Ceuta & Melilla are codes ISO keeps in reserve for specific uses, and Unicode allowed them as flags anyway. That is why the Canary Islands, an autonomous community of Spain, has its own emoji while Spain's other regions do not.

African flags your phone draws as a copy of another

We compared the flag images Apple, Google, Twitter/X and OpenMoji ship on 2026-10-18. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฆ Ceuta & Melilla is the same image as ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ Spain in all four sets, since both cities fly the Spanish flag. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Diego Garcia matches ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ด British Indian Ocean Territory on Apple, Google and Twitter/X. Apple goes further than anyone else with the South Atlantic: ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ญ St. Helena, ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡จ Ascension Island and ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฆ Tristan da Cunha are one identical picture, while Google draws three different flags. OpenMoji has the oddest result: its ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฉ Chad is pixel-for-pixel the same as ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด Romania. The real flags differ only in the shade of blue, and at emoji size OpenMoji does not attempt the difference.

Picking the right flag for diaspora and football posts

The two Congos are the classic mix-up. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฉ is the Democratic Republic of the Congo, capital Kinshasa, with a red diagonal and a yellow star on blue. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฌ is the Republic of the Congo, capital Brazzaville, split diagonally in green, yellow and red. Guinea, ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ผ Guinea-Bissau and ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ถ Equatorial Guinea are three separate countries on two sides of the continent, and ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ช Niger is not ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ Nigeria. During the Africa Cup of Nations these are the flags that get swapped most in match threads. Eswatini's ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฟ kept its code SZ when the country dropped the name Swaziland in 2018, so older keyboards may still list it under S for Swaziland.
