What does ๐ง๐ณ Brunei Flag mean?
A yellow field crossed diagonally by white and black stripes, with the red national emblem at the centre: a crescent, a royal parasol, wings and upraised hands, with a motto in Arabic script. Yellow is the colour of the sultan. Bruneians use it on National Day, 23 February, and in posts about Bandar Seri Begawan, its golden-domed mosques and the Kampong Ayer water village.
Technically, ๐ง๐ณ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ง ๐ณ, which spell the region code BN. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters BN instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ง๐ณ Brunei Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
