What does ๐ช๐น Ethiopia Flag mean?
Green, yellow and red horizontal stripes with a blue disc in the centre bearing a yellow star with rays. Ethiopiaโs colours inspired many African flags and the pan-African movement. Ethiopians share it on Enkutatash, the Ethiopian New Year in September, during Meskel and Timket festivities and coffee ceremonies, and to cheer the countryโs legendary long-distance runners.
Technically, ๐ช๐น is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ช ๐น, which spell the region code ET. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters ET instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ช๐น Ethiopia Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
