Bahamas flag emoji FAQ
Why does the Bahamas flag show as letters instead of a flag?
Some systems, mainly Windows, do not include flag artwork, so they show the letters BS instead of a picture. Phones, Macs, and most browsers on other platforms display it normally.
How do I get the Bahamas flag emoji on Windows?
Windows 10 and 11 show country flags as letters in most apps. Copy the emoji from this page and paste it into a phone, Mac or web app that draws its own flag images, such as Discord or Slack.
Is the Bahamas emoji similar to another flag?
Not closely. No other country combines aquamarine and gold stripes with a black triangle at the hoist.
Why does the black triangle look larger on some phones?
Platforms draw the triangle with slightly different heights, but the shape is always a triangle at the left.
