What does ๐ช๐ธ Spain Flag mean?
Red, yellow and red horizontal stripes, with the yellow twice as wide and the coat of arms placed towards the hoist. Spaniards post it on National Day, 12 October, and for La Roja, winners of the 2010 World Cup and several European titles. It also labels the Spanish language, and travellers pair it with tapas, flamenco, fiestas and beach holidays.
Technically, ๐ช๐ธ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ช ๐ธ, which spell the region code ES. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters ES instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ช๐ธ Spain Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010.
