What does ๐ธ๐ธ South Sudan Flag mean?
Black, red and green horizontal stripes separated by white lines, with a blue triangle at the hoist carrying a gold star. South Sudan became independent on 9 July 2011, making it the youngest widely recognised country in the world. People share the flag on Independence Day, for the national basketball team and to show pride across the diaspora.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ธ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ธ, which spell the region code SS. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SS instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ธ South Sudan Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
