Myanmar is a country in Southeast Asia characterized by mountain ranges, fertile river valleys such as the Irrawaddy Basin, tropical forests, and coastlines along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea.

📍 Myanmar (Burma) is a country located in Southeast Asia, positioned between South Asia and East Asia on the Indochinese Peninsula. It is bordered by India and Bangladesh to the west, China to the north and northeast, and Laos and Thailand to the east and southeast, with a coastline along the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea to the south and southwest.
Myanmar’s landscape includes mountain ranges along its borders, central plains, and river valleys dominated by the Irrawaddy River, which serves as a vital transportation and agricultural resource.

What is the ISO Code for Myanmar?

ISO country codes come from the international standard ISO 3166 created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These codes are used globally in databases, aviation systems, banking, shipping, and international data systems to uniquely identify countries and territories.

ISO 3166-1 codes are the two-letter country codes such as US, FR, or MM. These are called Level-1 ISO codes.

Only ISO 3166-1 codes support flag emojis. Flag emojis are created by combining two Unicode regional indicator letters that match the country's ISO two-letter code.

Myanmar is assigned the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code:

MM
