The Dannebrog has been in continuous use since the 13th century, which makes it a strong candidate for the oldest national flag still in service anywhere. Legend says it fell from the sky during a 1219 battle near what's now Tallinn and turned the tide for the Danes — a white cross on red that every other Nordic flag has since borrowed the shape of.
What 🇩🇰 means
A rectangular crimson red flag designed with a white horizontal line in the middle, further intersected by a vertical line that's placed a little to the left from the center point.
The 🇩🇰 Flag: Denmark refers to the Nordic nation in north Europe, officially known as the Kingdom of Denmark or just 'Denmark'. This emoji is shown as 'DK' on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
