What the Colors Mean
Flag History
The flag is a direct adaptation of the banner of the MPLA, the liberation movement that took power at independence in November 1975. Its emblem — a half gear wheel for industrial workers, a machete for peasants and armed struggle, and a star for progress — was deliberately styled after the Soviet hammer and sickle.
✨ Did you know?
In 2003 Angola's parliament approved a cheerier replacement design featuring a sun based on the Tchitundo-Hulu cave paintings — but it was never adopted, and the Marxist-era flag still flies.
Unicode sequence for 🇦🇴
The Angola flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code AO. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter A
- 🇦 · U+1F1E6
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter O
- 🇴 · U+1F1F4
Full sequence: U+1F1E6 U+1F1F4. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
