What does 🏳️ White Flag mean?
A plain white flag waving from a pole, the universal sign of surrender, truce or a request to talk instead of fight. In chats it is usually playful: giving up on a diet, losing an argument, admitting a game level is too hard, or offering peace after a silly fight. It can also stand for peace and neutrality more generally, or simply for something white or blank.
🏳️ White Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (special flags), added in Emoji 0.7 in 2014.
