What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Introduced on 4 October 2006, the 40th anniversary of independence, replacing the 1987 military-era flag that carried a shield, club and spear. The new design deliberately dropped the weapons, keeping only the mokorotlo — the conical Basotho straw hat — recoloured black and centred on a calm blue-white-green field to present Lesotho as a nation at peace.
✨ Did you know?
The colors recite the national motto 'Khotso, Pula, Nala' — Peace (white), Rain (blue), Prosperity (green). Lesotho is one of the few countries that literally put rain on its flag.
Unicode sequence for 🇱🇸
The Lesotho flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code LS. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter L
- 🇱 · U+1F1F1
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter S
- 🇸 · U+1F1F8
Full sequence: U+1F1F1 U+1F1F8. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
