What does ๐ถ๐ฆ Qatar Flag mean?
A maroon field with a broad white band at the hoist, separated by a serrated line of nine white points. Its proportions make it the widest national flag, more than twice as long as it is tall. Qataris celebrate National Day on 18 December, and the flag recalls the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Doha, the first held in the Arab world.
Technically, ๐ถ๐ฆ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ถ ๐ฆ, which spell the region code QA. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters QA instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ถ๐ฆ Qatar Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
