What does ๐ธ๐ช Sweden Flag mean?
A yellow Nordic cross on a blue field. Swedes celebrate National Day on 6 June, though Midsummer, with maypoles and pickled herring, often feels like the bigger party. The flag cheers Swedish hockey and football, labels Swedish in language apps, and decorates posts about fika, Stockholm, archipelago summers and Scandinavian design.
Technically, ๐ธ๐ช is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐ช, which spell the region code SE. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SE instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐ช Sweden Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
