How to type the Denmark flag emoji
On iPhone or Android, open the emoji keyboard and search for โDenmarkโ or โflagโ. On a Mac, press Ctrl+Cmd+Space and type the same word. On Windows 10 and 11, press Win + . and search there, but Windows shows the letters DK instead of a flag, because Microsoft's emoji font has no country flags. The emoji is built from two regional indicator letters, D and K, which supported platforms combine into one flag. If you see the letters on another device, the app or font does not support flags.
