What does ๐ง๐ฟ Belize Flag mean?
Royal blue with thin red stripes along the top and bottom and a white disc in the centre bearing the coat of arms: two woodcutters flanking a shield beneath a mahogany tree, with the motto โSub Umbra Floreoโ (โUnder the shade I flourishโ). Belizeans post it for Independence Day on 21 September, and divers pair it with the Great Blue Hole and the barrier reef.
Technically, ๐ง๐ฟ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ง ๐ฟ, which spell the region code BZ. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters BZ instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ง๐ฟ Belize Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
