What does ๐บ๐พ Uruguay Flag mean?
Nine horizontal stripes of white and blue, with a white canton bearing the golden Sun of May. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930 and won again in 1950, so La Celeste is a huge source of pride. Uruguayans also pair the flag with mate, asado, candombe drums and walks along the Montevideo rambla.
Technically, ๐บ๐พ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐บ ๐พ, which spell the region code UY. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters UY instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐บ๐พ Uruguay Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
