What does ๐ฌ๐ญ Ghana Flag mean?
Red, gold and green horizontal stripes with a black star in the centre, the โlodestar of African freedomโ. Ghana became independent on 6 March 1957, and the flag is shared every Independence Day, for the Black Stars football team, Afrobeats and highlife, and in the friendly jollof rivalry with Nigeria. โAkwaabaโ, meaning welcome, often comes with it.
Technically, ๐ฌ๐ญ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฌ ๐ญ, which spell the region code GH. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters GH instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฌ๐ญ Ghana Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
