What does ๐ธ๐ฏ Svalbard & Jan Mayen Flag mean?
Svalbard and Jan Mayen have no flags of their own and fly Norwayโs: a blue Nordic cross outlined in white on red. These remote Arctic territories of Norway are known for polar bears, glaciers, the Global Seed Vault, the midnight sun and months of polar night. The emoji turns up in Longyearbyen travel posts and science news.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ฏ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ฏ, which spell the region code SJ. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SJ instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ฏ Svalbard & Jan Mayen Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
