What does ๐ฉ๐ด Dominican Republic Flag mean?
A white cross divides the flag into blue and red quarters, with the coat of arms at the centre, notable for showing an open Bible. Dominicans wave it on Independence Day, 27 February, and for baseball stars, merengue and bachata, while travellers use it for Punta Cana resorts, Samanรกโs beaches and the colonial zone of Santo Domingo.
Technically, ๐ฉ๐ด is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฉ ๐ด, which spell the region code DO. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters DO instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฉ๐ด Dominican Republic Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
