What Does the Palestine Emoji Mean?
Unicode Definition: Represents the national or regional flag of Palestine (Middle East / Levant) (๐ต๐ธ), standardized in Emoji 2.0 / Unicode 8.0 (2015) using the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 country code "PS" via the Regional Indicator pair ๐ต (U+1F1F5) + ๐ธ (U+1F1F8). Visually, the emblem features three horizontal stripes of black, white, and green with a red triangle at the hoist.
Context & Expression: Used globally to express cultural heritage, Levantine identity, and international solidarity. Also expresses cultural heritage, travel excitement, and support for Palestine in international events.
Technical Note for Palestine (PS): Because ๐ต๐ธ is composed of two Regional Indicator letters (๐ต + ๐ธ), Apple iOS, Android, and macOS combine them into the Palestine flag graphic, whereas unstyled Windows fonts display the two-letter ISO code "PS".
