What does ๐ง๐ฎ Burundi Flag mean?
A white saltire divides the field into red triangles above and below and green triangles at each side. At the centre, a white disc holds three red six-pointed stars outlined in green, linked to the national motto โUnity, Work, Progressโ. People use it on Independence Day, 1 July, for Burundian heritage posts and to celebrate the famous royal drummers.
Technically, ๐ง๐ฎ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ง ๐ฎ, which spell the region code BI. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters BI instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ง๐ฎ Burundi Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
