Red-white-red is often called the second-oldest national flag design in the world, just behind Denmark's, with a documented seal from 1230 under Duke Frederick II. Legend says the pattern comes from a duke's blood-soaked battle tunic, belt included, though the story likely postdates the real history by decades — either way, it's barely changed in nearly 800 years.
What 🇦🇹 means
A simple triband of red composing the top and lower stripes of a rectangular flag and white in the middle. The 🇦🇹 Flag: Austria emoji represents the southern country of central Europe, Austria, officially called the Republic of Austria.
