With the 2016 Summer Olympic Games set to get underway in Rio today [Aug 5], Twitter has released a set of 207 new emojis, representing various national flags using a three-letter hashtag, including #BER for Bermuda, which when used, automatically renders a Bermuda flag.

“To mark the occasion, Twitter has released 207 brand new team emojis so that fans across the globe can share their passion and follow their favourite teams.

“Tweeting with the three-letter country code hashtags will trigger flag emojis for each of the countries, including the Refugee Olympic Team [#ROT].​ While the country flags and sport icons make up most of the emojis, there are more general hashtags that go along with the Olympic Games, medals and the ceremonies.”
