What the Colors Mean
Flag History
The world's oldest tricolor, flown by Dutch rebels in the 1570s as the orange-white-blue Prinsenvlag. Orange dyes faded badly at sea, so red gradually replaced it — made official by royal decree in 1937.
✨ Did you know?
On royal birthdays an orange pennant still flies above the flag — the ghost of the original color. Dutch fans wear orange, not red, for the same reason.
Unicode sequence for 🇳🇱
The Netherlands flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code NL. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter N
- 🇳 · U+1F1F3
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter L
- 🇱 · U+1F1F1
Full sequence: U+1F1F3 U+1F1F1. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
