What does ๐ฎ๐จ Canary Islands Flag mean?
Vertical white, blue and yellow bands; the official version adds a coat of arms showing the seven islands on blue, supported by two dogs. The Canaries are an autonomous community of Spain off north-west Africa, celebrating Canary Islands Day on 30 May. The emoji is a favourite for winter sun, beaches, Mount Teide and holidays in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
Technically, ๐ฎ๐จ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฎ ๐จ, which spell the region code IC. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters IC instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฎ๐จ Canary Islands Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
