Pirate Flag Emoji
What does the Pirate Flag emoji mean?
The Jolly Roger was the flag pirates hoisted before or during an attack in the early 19th century, during the latter part of the Golden Age of Piracy. The Pirate Flag emoji is a ZWJ sequence that combines 🏴 Black Flag, Zero Width Joiner and ☠️ Skull and Crossbones, rendering as a single emoji on platforms that support it.
Black flag 🏴 features a skull and crossed bones arranged in an “X” — the classic pirate emblem flown by raiders intent on plunder.
The topic of pirates comes up often in conversations, so this emoji is familiar to many. There are plenty of exciting films about pirate adventures, and you’ll also see this flag mentioned when people discuss Halloween outfits.
