What does ๐บ๐ณ United Nations Flag mean?
The emblem of the United Nations, a white world map seen from above the North Pole framed by olive branches of peace, on a light โUN blueโ field. The UN is an international organisation, not a country. The emoji appears on UN Day, 24 October, in Model UN chats, diplomacy and human rights news, and posts about peacekeeping or international cooperation.
Technically, ๐บ๐ณ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐บ ๐ณ, which spell the region code UN. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters UN instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐บ๐ณ United Nations Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 4.0 in 2016.
