What does ๐ฌ๐ฒ Gambia Flag mean?
Red, blue and green horizontal stripes separated by thin white lines. The blue band recalls the Gambia River, which runs the length of this narrow country, the smallest on mainland Africa. Gambians post it on Independence Day, 18 February, and travellers use the flag for the โSmiling Coastโ, birdwatching trips and boat rides along the river.
Technically, ๐ฌ๐ฒ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฌ ๐ฒ, which spell the region code GM. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters GM instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฌ๐ฒ Gambia Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
