What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Designed by Justice Minister Grace Ibingira after Milton Obote's UPC won the 1962 pre-independence elections, replacing a green-and-blue design proposed by the outgoing government. The black-yellow-red stripes come straight from the UPC party flag, while the grey crowned crane was already Uganda's badge under British colonial rule.
✨ Did you know?
The crowned crane at the centre stands with one leg raised — official symbolism for a nation on the move, not standing still.
Unicode sequence for 🇺🇬

- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter U
- 🇺 · U+1F1FA
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter G
- 🇬 · U+1F1EC
Full sequence: U+1F1FA U+1F1EC. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
