What does ๐ธ๐ง Solomon Islands Flag mean?
A thin yellow diagonal stripe divides a blue upper triangle with five white stars from a green lower triangle. The stars represent the main island groups, and independence is celebrated on 7 July. The flag appears in posts about World War II sites on Guadalcanal, wreck diving, lagoons and Melanesian culture.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ง is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ง, which spell the region code SB. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SB instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ง Solomon Islands Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
