What does ๐จ๐ฝ Christmas Island Flag mean?
Split diagonally into blue and green, with the Southern Cross on the blue, a golden bosun bird on the green and a yellow disc in the middle showing a green map of the island. Christmas Island is an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, and the flag features in posts about its spectacular annual red crab migration, birdwatching and diving.
Technically, ๐จ๐ฝ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐จ ๐ฝ, which spell the region code CX. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CX instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐จ๐ฝ Christmas Island Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
