What does 🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire Flag mean?
Three vertical bands of orange, white and green, with orange at the hoist: the mirror image of Ireland’s flag, which causes regular mix-ups. Ivorians post it on Independence Day, 7 August, and for the Elephants, who won the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil in 2024, as well as for coupé-décalé music and plates of attiéké.
Technically, 🇨🇮 is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters 🇨 🇮, which spell the region code CI. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CI instead – the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipient’s phone.
🇨🇮 Côte d’Ivoire Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
