flag: Syria Emoji

The flag: Syria 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 Country Flag within the Flags category, flag: Syria is the 219th of 270 emoji How To Type Any Symbol lists in this category, and was introduced in Emoji version 2 of the Unicode Emoji Standard. Technically, it is built from multiple combined Unicode code points (a "sequence") rather than a single character — a common technique for representing flags, family groups, and complex expressions. Its Unicode code point sequence is U+1F1F8 U+1F1FE.

💡 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.
