Flag: Syria Emoji
What does the Flag: Syria emoji mean?
On 25 April 2025, Foreign Minister Asaad al‑Shaibani raised the Syrian National Coalition flag during a ceremony at United Nations Headquarters in New York, where he was also scheduled to attend a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. As of April 2025, this emoji depicts the Syrian National Coalition flag (a horizontal tri-band of green, white, and black with three red five-pointed stars on the white band) on updated Apple and Samsung devices and within WhatsApp on Android. Other vendors are expected to follow suit. Many other vendors still show this emoji as the flag of the Syrian Arab Republic (a horizontal tri-band of red, white, and black bearing two green stars at the centre). A flag put together from 🇸 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter S and 🇾 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Y: the flag sequence tells the font to draw one picture instead of two letters.
This emoji depicts the modern national flag of Syria: three equal horizontal stripes — red on top, white in the middle, and black at the bottom. Two identical green five-pointed stars are centered on the white stripe, representing the country’s commitment to Arab unity.
