What does ๐น๐ฟ Tanzania Flag mean?
A black diagonal band edged in yellow runs up from the lower hoist, with a green triangle above and a blue triangle below, uniting the colours of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Tanzanians celebrate Union Day on 26 April, and travellers use the flag for climbing Kilimanjaro, Serengeti safaris, Zanzibarโs beaches and Swahili greetings like โKaribuโ.
Technically, ๐น๐ฟ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐น ๐ฟ, which spell the region code TZ. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters TZ instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐น๐ฟ Tanzania Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
