What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Chosen from nearly 3,000 entries in a 1959 competition ahead of independence. The winning design by 23-year-old student Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi originally had a red sun in the center — judges removed it, leaving the clean green-white-green triband.
✨ Did you know?
Akinkunmi was studying in London when he entered. He won £100, and decades later the government granted him a lifetime salary as a national honor.
Unicode sequence for 🇳🇬
The Nigeria flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code NG. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter N
- 🇳 · U+1F1F3
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter G
- 🇬 · U+1F1EC
Full sequence: U+1F1F3 U+1F1EC. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
