Druk Yul, Bhutan's own name for itself, means Land of the Thunder Dragon, and the flag delivers on that literally: a white dragon, jaws open, clutching jewels, stretched diagonally across yellow and orange. Yellow stands for the king's civil authority, orange for the country's Buddhist tradition. Few national flags make the country's nickname and its emblem the very same image.
What 🇧🇹 means
A rectangular flag with a diagonal cut from the top-right corner to the bottom-right edge, the upper portion of which is yellow and the bottom, red while the intersection holds a white dragon print.
The 🇧🇹 Flag: Bhutan emoji represents Bhutan or the Kingdom of Bhutan, a country found in the eastern Himalayas. On some platforms that don't support the flag emojis, this emoji is shown with its country code - 'BT'.
