What does 🇹🇷 Türkiye Flag mean?
A red field with a white crescent and star. Turks celebrate Republic Day on 29 October, marking the founding of the republic in 1923, and wave the flag for football and volleyball. It also labels Turkish in language apps and decorates posts about Istanbul, the hot-air balloons of Cappadocia, Turkish breakfast spreads and the Aegean coast.
Technically, 🇹🇷 is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters 🇹 🇷, which spell the region code TR. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters TR instead – the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipient’s phone.
🇹🇷 Türkiye Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
