What the Colors Mean
Flag History
For centuries the sultanate flew a plain red flag like its Indian Ocean neighbours. A crescent and a black-and-white striped hoist band were added in the early 20th century, and the striped band was dropped at independence on 26 July 1965.
✨ Did you know?
The crescent originally pointed toward the flagpole — it was flipped to face the fly in 1953 and has stayed that way ever since.
Unicode sequence for 🇲🇻
The Maldives flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code MV. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter M
- 🇲 · U+1F1F2
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter V
- 🇻 · U+1F1FB
Full sequence: U+1F1F2 U+1F1FB. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
