What does ๐ฎ๐น Italy Flag mean?
Il Tricolore: three vertical bands of green, white and red. Italians fly it on Republic Day, 2 June, and wave it for the Azzurri, four-time World Cup winners, and at Ferrari races. The emoji labels Italian in language apps and spices up posts about pizza, pasta, espresso, Rome, Venice and the Amalfi Coast.
Technically, ๐ฎ๐น is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฎ ๐น, which spell the region code IT. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters IT instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฎ๐น Italy Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
