What the Colors Mean
Flag History
After a heated national debate ("the Great Flag Debate"), the maple leaf design by George Stanley replaced the British-derived Red Ensign on February 15, 1965. The 11-point stylised leaf doesn't match any real maple species — it was tuned in wind-tunnel tests to look good while flapping.
✨ Did you know?
February 15 is National Flag of Canada Day. The two red side bands are officially described as representing the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Unicode sequence for 🇨🇦
The Canada flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code CA. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter C
- 🇨 · U+1F1E8
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter A
- 🇦 · U+1F1E6
Full sequence: U+1F1E8 U+1F1E6. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
