Flag symbol

Type :flag: · Marks

What ⚑ is for

A solid flag, for marking something to come back to. The plain-text version of every "flag this" control, and one of the few marks that stays a glyph rather than turning into an emoji.

How to type ⚑

The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With Emoji Anywhere installed you can skip all of them and type :flag: in any text field instead, which is the same on every platform.

macOS

No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex Input source and type 2691 with Option held.

Windows

No Alt code. In Word, type 2691 then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
