What does ๐ต๐ท Puerto Rico Flag mean?
Five horizontal stripes, three red and two white, with a blue triangle at the hoist bearing a white star; it mirrors the Cuban flag with the colours swapped. Puerto Rico is a US territory, and Boricuas everywhere wave the flag proudly at the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York, at concerts, and for reggaeton and salsa.
Technically, ๐ต๐ท is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ต ๐ท, which spell the region code PR. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters PR instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ต๐ท Puerto Rico Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
