What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Created for independence in October 1964 by Gabriel Ellison, the government artist who also designed Zambia's coat of arms and decades of its postage stamps. The soaring African fish eagle, borrowed from the coat of arms, represents the people's ability to rise above the nation's problems.
✨ Did you know?
Almost every flag anchors its design at the hoist or centre — Zambia pushes its entire eagle-and-stripes block into the outer fly corner, one of the only national flags to do so.
Unicode sequence for 🇿🇲
The Zambia flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code ZM. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Z
- 🇿 · U+1F1FF
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter M
- 🇲 · U+1F1F2
Full sequence: U+1F1FF U+1F1F2. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
