What does ๐ณ๐ฌ Nigeria Flag mean?
Three vertical bands of green, white and green: green for the land and white for peace. Nigerians post it on Independence Day, 1 October, for the Super Eagles and Super Falcons, Afrobeats and Nollywood, and in good-natured jollof rice debates with Ghana. Wherever it appears, โNaijaโ pride is never far behind.
Technically, ๐ณ๐ฌ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ณ ๐ฌ, which spell the region code NG. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters NG instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ณ๐ฌ Nigeria Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
