What does ๐ณ๐ด Norway Flag mean?
A blue Nordic cross outlined in white on a red field. Norwegians wave it everywhere on Constitution Day, 17 May, with childrenโs parades and traditional bunad costumes, and cheer cross-country skiers and footballers with it. Travellers pair it with fjords, northern lights and the midnight sun, and it labels Norwegian in language apps.
Technically, ๐ณ๐ด is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ณ ๐ด, which spell the region code NO. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters NO instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ณ๐ด Norway Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
