What does ๐ฑ๐ฆ Laos Flag mean?
Red, blue and red horizontal stripes with a white disc in the centre of the blue, often described as the full moon over the Mekong River. Laotians celebrate Pi Mai, the Lao New Year, in April, and travellers use the flag for Luang Prabangโs temples, the morning alms-giving, the Kuang Si waterfalls and slow boat trips.
Technically, ๐ฑ๐ฆ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฑ ๐ฆ, which spell the region code LA. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters LA instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฑ๐ฆ Laos Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
