How to recognise Qatar's flag
Qatar is listed under Q in the English country collection. Its flag has a maroon field and a white band at the hoist, with nine white triangular points forming the boundary. The maroon colour and serrated edge are more useful identification clues than the initial letter alone.
Compare the full rectangular image before choosing an icon. Cropping the design into a circle or square can hide part of the white band or make the proportions look different. A decorative version is useful as an illustration, but it should not be used to infer the dimensions of the actual flag.
Reading a small flag image
On a small screen, the points along the edge may merge together. Open the larger preview if you want to count them or inspect the boundary between white and maroon. Display settings can also make maroon look redder or darker, so use both colour and shape when identifying the flag. The Qatar page contains the available images and a longer explanation; the download card shows the file dimensions where they are available.
