What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Designed by artist and engineer Alphonse Kirimobenecyo and adopted on 25 October 2001, replacing the red-yellow-green tricolour flown since 1961. The change was deliberate: the post-genocide government wanted a flag free of the old regime's associations.
✨ Did you know?
Rwanda banished red from its flag on purpose — after the 1994 genocide, the new blue-yellow-green design was chosen so the national banner would never again evoke spilled blood.
Unicode sequence for 🇷🇼
The Rwanda flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code RW. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter R
- 🇷 · U+1F1F7
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter W
- 🇼 · U+1F1FC
Full sequence: U+1F1F7 U+1F1FC. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
