What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Designed by Mohammed Awale Liban and first hoisted on 12 October 1954, while the territory was a UN trust under Italian administration — hence the UN-blue field. It became the national flag when British and Italian Somaliland united at independence in 1960.
✨ Did you know?
Each point of the star stands for one of five Somali-inhabited territories — British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, Djibouti, eastern Ethiopia and northern Kenya — though only the first two ever united under the flag.
Unicode sequence for 🇸🇴
The Somalia flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code SO. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter S
- 🇸 · U+1F1F8
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter O
- 🇴 · U+1F1F4
Full sequence: U+1F1F8 U+1F1F4. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
