What does ๐ฎ๐ณ India Flag mean?
Saffron, white and green horizontal stripes with a navy blue, 24-spoke Ashoka Chakra in the centre. Known as the Tiranga, it fills chats on Independence Day, 15 August, and Republic Day, 26 January, and comes out in force for cricket matches. It also labels Hindi and other Indian languages and decorates posts about festivals, food and family.
Technically, ๐ฎ๐ณ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฎ ๐ณ, which spell the region code IN. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters IN instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฎ๐ณ India Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
