What does ๐ฏ๐ต Flag: Japan mean?
The flag of Japan, the Hinomaru, is a red circle on white representing the sun. It is used for Japanese culture, anime, travel and support for Japanese teams.
The ๐ฏ๐ต Flag: Japan emoji shows the national flag of Japan. It is built from two regional indicator letters, JP (the ISO country code), which phones and apps combine into a flag. People use it to show support for Japan in sports matches, to mark national holidays, or to mention a trip to Japan. Windows does not display country flags as images โ it shows the two letters instead โ but the flag appears correctly on iPhone, Android, Mac and most apps. Flag: Japan has been available since Unicode 6.0 (2010), so it displays on almost all current devices. In Slack, Discord and GitHub you can type :jp: to insert it.
