- Findecanor 3y agoThe E0000-E007F block is the "Tags" block, which is used for flag emojis. But there is not a code for each flag. Instead there is a code for each ASCII character. A flag sequence is formed from U+1F3F4 (Black Flag), followed by at least two tags that form a country/region code, and then U+E007F (End tag). So, yes this is weird, because the emoji is dependent on the decoder. It was made this way to keep Unicode independent of geopolitics.
