What does ๐ฑ๐ธ Lesotho Flag mean?
Blue, white and green horizontal stripes with a black mokorotlo, the conical Basotho straw hat, at the centre. Lesotho is a mountain kingdom completely surrounded by South Africa. People post the flag on Independence Day, 4 October, and travellers use it for pony treks, high passes, Basotho blankets and snow in the โKingdom in the Skyโ.
Technically, ๐ฑ๐ธ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฑ ๐ธ, which spell the region code LS. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters LS instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฑ๐ธ Lesotho Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
