What does ๐ธ๐ฑ Sierra Leone Flag mean?
Green, white and blue horizontal stripes, standing for agriculture and the hills, unity and justice, and the natural harbour of Freetown. Sierra Leoneans celebrate Independence Day on 27 April, affectionately call their country โSaloneโ, and share the flag for Leone Stars football matches, Krio phrases and the beaches near Freetown.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ฑ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ฑ, which spell the region code SL. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SL instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ฑ Sierra Leone Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
