I believe flags are sorted alphabetically by how they are internally represented. All flags are a combination of two special letter-symbols. For the UK flag, these two symbols are “GB”, therefore the UK flag should be much earlier.

🇺🇸 (Flag of the USA [code: US]) ≠ 🇺🇲 (Flag of the US Outlying Islands [code: UM])
Yes, the first US flag, which most people pick, is actually the flag of the US Outlying Islands. Whenever you see someone use the US flag emoji, check whether they accidentally used the " wrong" one.
- is BS, do you see the flags of England, Scotland and Wales all at the end?
True, I realized this after posting. After quickly looking it up, it turns out they were added a few years later and differ slightly from the rest of the flags. According to the probably correct source of Emojipedia, you can see the difference here:
https://emojipedia.org/flag-england https://emojipedia.org/flag-united-kingdom
Tl;dr
🇬🇧 = ‘GB’
🏴 = ‘🏴gbeng[cancel symbol]’
🏴 = ‘🏴gbsct[cancel symbol]’
🏴 = ‘🏴gbwls[cancel symbol]’With the lower case letters representing “Tag Latin Small Letter X” and the upper case letters representing “Regional Indicator Symbol Letter X”
Provisions for a Northern Ireland one also exists but sadly no manufacturer adopts it because of the flag controversy. It’s GBNIR. You can actually go to the root of Google’s emoji source code and enable it and build the font which will include the Northern Ireland flag!
Probably because they have six characters instead of two. GB-SCT for example is the scottish flag

Dude just have to scroll up a bit to find UK flag. But yes it’s odd to have two US flag on Swift Key 🤔
Critical support
Ask this to Tim Cook maybe.
Why would he know, that’s a screenshot of an android device.
I think that’s Microsoft Swift keyboard.
Definitely looks like swiftkey. And for me the UK flag is there.
… Why?
