What does ๐บ๐ธ United States Flag mean?
Thirteen red and white stripes for the original colonies and fifty white stars on a blue canton for the states: the Stars and Stripes. Americans post it on Independence Day, 4 July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, for Team USA, and to label American English. It also accompanies road trips, national parks and big sporting events.
Technically, ๐บ๐ธ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐บ ๐ธ, which spell the region code US. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters US instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐บ๐ธ United States Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 0.6 in 2010. People use it in messages about usa and america.
