What does ๐ง๐ฌ Bulgaria Flag mean?
Three horizontal stripes of white, green and red. Bulgarians post it on Liberation Day, 3 March, and on 24 May, the holiday honouring the Cyrillic alphabet and Bulgarian culture. It also appears beside the red-and-white martenitsa bracelets exchanged on 1 March, in Black Sea beach posts, ski trips to Bansko, rose fields and banitsa breakfasts.
Technically, ๐ง๐ฌ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ง ๐ฌ, which spell the region code BG. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters BG instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ง๐ฌ Bulgaria Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
