What does ๐ธ๐พ Syria Flag mean?
Syriaโs current flag has green, white and black horizontal stripes with three red stars on the white. This independence-era design became the national flag in 2025, replacing the red, white and black flag with two green stars used since 1980. Syrians at home and abroad use the emoji for pride and heritage, and in posts about Damascus, Aleppo and Syrian food.
Technically, ๐ธ๐พ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐ธ ๐พ, which spell the region code SY. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters SY instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐ธ๐พ Syria Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
