What does ๐จ๐ญ Switzerland Flag mean?
A square red flag with a bold white cross at its centre, one of only two square national flags along with Vatican Cityโs. Swiss people celebrate National Day on 1 August with bonfires and fireworks, and the flag is everywhere on ski trips, alpine hikes, chocolate and cheese posts, and when Swiss athletes compete. It also labels Swiss German, French or Italian content.
Technically, ๐จ๐ญ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐จ ๐ญ, which spell the region code CH. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CH instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐จ๐ญ Switzerland Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
