What does ๐ฒ๐บ Mauritius Flag mean?
Four horizontal stripes of red, blue, yellow and green, standing for the struggle for independence, the Indian Ocean, the light of freedom and the green of the land. Mauritians celebrate Independence Day on 12 March, and the flag fills posts about turquoise lagoons, Le Morne, sega dancing, multicultural food and the dodo, long extinct but still the national mascot.
Technically, ๐ฒ๐บ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฒ ๐บ, which spell the region code MU. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters MU instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฒ๐บ Mauritius Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
