What does ๐จ๐ฆ Canada Flag mean?
A red maple leaf with eleven points sits on a white square between two red vertical bands. The Maple Leaf flag has flown since 1965, and Canadians post it for Canada Day on 1 July, hockey games and the Olympics, and to stand out from their neighbours to the south when travelling. It can also label Canadian English or Canadian French.
Technically, ๐จ๐ฆ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐จ ๐ฆ, which spell the region code CA. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CA instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐จ๐ฆ Canada Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
