What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Chosen through a 1901 public competition that drew 32,823 entries — five near-identical winners shared the prize. The seven-pointed Commonwealth Star stands for the six states plus the territories; the Southern Cross fixes the flag to the southern sky.
✨ Did you know?
The competition winners included a 14-year-old schoolboy. Each received a share of £200 — about a year's wages at the time.
Unicode sequence for 🇦🇺
The Australia flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code AU. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter A
- 🇦 · U+1F1E6
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter U
- 🇺 · U+1F1FA
Full sequence: U+1F1E6 U+1F1FA. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
