What does ๐ท๐ผ Rwanda Flag mean?
A wide sky-blue band above yellow and green stripes, with a golden sun of 24 rays in the upper fly. The design, adopted in 2001, stands for peace, economic development and prosperity. Rwandans celebrate Liberation Day on 4 July, and travellers use the flag for gorilla trekking, the clean streets of Kigali and Lake Kivu.
Technically, ๐ท๐ผ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ท ๐ผ, which spell the region code RW. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters RW instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ท๐ผ Rwanda Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
