A white-edged red cross cuts across deep blue on Iceland's flag, the same cross shape shared by Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The colors trace the island itself: blue for the sea and mountains, white for snow, red for the volcanoes that keep reshaping the place. People pull it out for travel posts and to claim Icelandic roots.
What 🇮🇸 means
A rectangular navy blue flag with the central confluence of a red horizontal and vertical stripe in the first half of the design from the left. This red '+' is bordered by thin white lines on both sides.
The 🇮🇸 Flag: Iceland emoji represents the island country of Iceland. This Nordic nation is found towards the north of the Atlantic Ocean. On some platforms, flag emojis are not visible and are replaced with the country code, in such cases, this emoji will be 'IS'.
