Mix them up and you wouldn't be the first: Czechoslovakia's 1918 flag was plain white over red, a near-twin to Poland's, so a blue triangle went in at the hoist in 1920 to set them apart and fold in Slovak identity. Czechia kept the whole design when the country split from Slovakia in 1993 — this emoji started out built for two nations, not one.
What 🇨🇿 means
A rectangular flag with a triangular navy blue cut from the left border, the tip of which extends to the middle. The rest of the flag is divided into horizontal stripes of white on top and red below.
The 🇨🇿 Flag: Czechia emoji represents the famous Czech Republic, known as Czechia for short. A central European country, this landlocked piece of land has 🇦🇹 Austria as its southern neighbor.
This emoji is shown as 'CZ' on some platforms.
