What does ๐ป๐ฌ British Virgin Islands Flag mean?
A blue ensign with the Union Jack and a green shield showing Saint Ursula dressed in white, holding a lamp and surrounded by eleven more lamps, above the motto โVigilateโ. The British Virgin Islands are a sailing paradise, and the flag shows up in posts about yacht charters, the giant boulders of The Baths on Virgin Gorda and beach bars.
Technically, ๐ป๐ฌ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ป ๐ฌ, which spell the region code VG. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters VG instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ป๐ฌ British Virgin Islands Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
