What does ๐ฐ๐ท South Korea Flag mean?
The Taegukgi: a white field with a red and blue taegeuk circle in the centre, representing balance, and four black trigrams in the corners for heaven, earth, water and fire. Fans use it for K-pop, K-dramas, Korean food and language learning, trips to Seoul and Busan, and to cheer the national team with a chant of โDaehan Minguk!โ
Technically, ๐ฐ๐ท is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฐ ๐ท, which spell the region code KR. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters KR instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฐ๐ท South Korea Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
