What does ๐ฑ๐ฐ Sri Lanka Flag mean?
A golden lion holding a sword on a maroon panel, with bo leaves in the corners, beside vertical green and saffron stripes, all inside a gold border. Sri Lankans celebrate Independence Day on 4 February and the Sinhala and Tamil New Year in April, and cheer the cricket team, 1996 World Cup winners. Travellers add it to posts about tea country, beaches and the train to Ella.
Technically, ๐ฑ๐ฐ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ฑ ๐ฐ, which spell the region code LK. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters LK instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ฑ๐ฐ Sri Lanka Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
