black flag Emoji

The black flag emoji displays a flag, used to represent a country, region, or affiliation — commonly seen in social media bios, sports commentary, travel posts, and international conversations to indicate nationality, location, or support.

Category context: The Flags category represents national, regional, and subdivision flags using a special Unicode mechanism — most country flags are built from pairs of "regional indicator" letter characters rather than being single dedicated flag characters.

Cataloged under Flag within the Flags category, black flag is the 265th of 270 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 1 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, it is represented by a single Unicode code point rather than a combined sequence, making it one of the simpler emoji to encode and display reliably across platforms. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+1F3F4.

💡 Good to know: Most country flag emoji are technically built from two "regional indicator symbol" characters representing the country's ISO code (like the letters for its two-letter country code) — your device combines them into a flag automatically.
