Mexico Flag Emoji
The Mexico flag emoji 🇲🇽 shows three vertical bands of green, white, and red with the Mexican coat of arms (eagle on a cactus devouring a serpent) centered in the white band.
When the Mexico flag emoji is used
People use the Mexico flag emoji for Mexican identity and culture, travel, national celebrations, food and tourism, football and other international sport, or news about Mexico. Pair it with a place or event name when readers could mistake nationality, destination, and team support.
The Mexican coat of arms distinguishes this flag from similar green-white-red tricolors. The emoji refers specifically to Mexico, not to Latin America as a whole.

Platform rendering status for the Mexico flag emoji
PasteMoji has not recorded versioned, dated rendering evidence for the platforms below. The same MX Unicode region sequence may appear as a flag, letter indicators, or fallback characters depending on the operating system, font, app, and version.
Display detail: The eagle, cactus, and serpent in the central coat of arms contain far more detail than a small emoji can show. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other vendors simplify that emblem differently, especially at normal text size.
What the Colors Mean
Flag History
The tricolor dates to 1821 and the Army of the Three Guarantees. The central coat of arms — an eagle devouring a serpent on a prickly-pear cactus — retells the Aztec founding legend of Tenochtitlan, today's Mexico City.
✨ Did you know?
The exact eagle design has been redrawn several times; the current fierce side-profile version was standardised in 1968 for the Mexico City Olympics.
Unicode sequence for 🇲🇽
The Mexico flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code MX. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter M
- 🇲 · U+1F1F2
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter X
- 🇽 · U+1F1FD
Full sequence: U+1F1F2 U+1F1FD. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.

Screen readers may announce the country, the region code, or the individual symbols depending on the software. Do not use the flag alone for a language picker or critical navigation.
