What Does the Flag: Pakistan Emoji Mean?
Unicode Definition: Represents the national or regional flag of Pakistan (South Asia) (π΅π°), standardized in Emoji 2.0 / Unicode 8.0 (2015) using the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code "PK" via the Regional Indicator pair π΅ (U+1F1F5) + π° (U+1F1F0). Visually, the emblem features a dark green field with a vertical white stripe on the hoist and a white crescent and five-pointed star.
Context & Expression: Widely used on Independence Day (14 August), Pakistan Super League and international cricket threads, and Pakistani diaspora bios. Also expresses cultural heritage, travel excitement, and support for Pakistan in international events.
Technical Note for Pakistan (PK): Because π΅π° is composed of two Regional Indicator letters (π΅ + π°), Apple iOS, Android, and macOS combine them into the Pakistan flag graphic, whereas unstyled Windows fonts display the two-letter ISO code "PK".
