Qatar's flag is unusually elongated, running nearly three times as long as it is tall, split into maroon and white by a nine-point zigzag edge. That maroon shade, the story goes, comes from an old red dye that faded in the sun until the darker color became standard. The zigzag edge keeps it from being confused with Bahrain's similar red-and-white flag.
What 🇶🇦 means
A dual-colored rectangular vertically divided such that the left 1/4th is white and the right 3/4th is maroon. The line where both sides meet is a sharp zig-zag line.
The 🇶🇦 Flag: Qatar emoji refers to the West Asian or Middle Eastern country of Qatar, officially known as the State of Qatar. This emoji is shown as 'QA' on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
