What does 🇨🇦 Flag: Canada mean?
The flag of Canada shows a red maple leaf on white with red bands. It is used for Canada Day (1 July), ice hockey, travel and Canadian pride.
The 🇨🇦 Flag: Canada emoji shows the national flag of Canada. It is built from two regional indicator letters, CA (the ISO country code), which phones and apps combine into a flag. People use it to show support for Canada in sports matches, to mark national holidays, or to mention a trip to Canada. Windows does not display country flags as images — it shows the two letters instead — but the flag appears correctly on iPhone, Android, Mac and most apps. It was approved as part of Emoji 2.0 in 2015 and works on virtually every modern phone and computer. In Slack, Discord and GitHub you can type :canada: to insert it.
