What does ๐ต๐ฌ Papua New Guinea Flag mean?
Divided diagonally: a red upper triangle with a golden bird of paradise, and a black lower triangle with the five white stars of the Southern Cross. The flag was designed by Susan Karike, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, in 1971. Papua New Guineans celebrate Independence Day on 16 September and passionately follow rugby league and the national team, the Kumuls.
Technically, ๐ต๐ฌ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ต ๐ฌ, which spell the region code PG. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters PG instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ต๐ฌ Papua New Guinea Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
