What does ๐ฏ๐ฒ Jamaica Flag mean?
A gold saltire divides the flag into green triangles at the top and bottom and black triangles at the sides. It is the only national flag with no red, white or blue. Jamaicans post it on Independence Day, 6 August, for sprinters like Usain Bolt and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and with reggae, jerk chicken and the national motto โOut of many, one peopleโ.
Technically, ๐ฏ๐ฒ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฏ ๐ฒ, which spell the region code JM. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters JM instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฏ๐ฒ Jamaica Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
