What does ๐ธ๐ด Somalia Flag mean?
A light blue field with a large white five-pointed star in the centre, the Star of Unity, its points representing the regions where Somali people live. Somalis at home and across the diaspora share it to show pride, mark the independence anniversaries of 26 June and 1 July, and post about Mogadishuโs coastline, poetry and Somali food.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ด is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ด, which spell the region code SO. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SO instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ด Somalia Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
