What does ๐ณ๐ต Nepal Flag mean?
The only non-rectangular national flag: two stacked crimson pennants with a blue border, the upper carrying a white moon and the lower a white sun. The two peaks are often linked to the Himalayas. Nepalis share it for the Dashain and Tihar festivals and to show their heritage, and trekkers use it for Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit.
Technically, ๐ณ๐ต is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ณ ๐ต, which spell the region code NP. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters NP instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ณ๐ต Nepal Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
