Senegal adopted its green-yellow-red flag in August 1960, just months after leaving the short-lived Mali Federation, swapping out that union's flag for a single green star centered on gold. Green is tied to Islam and hope, yellow to wealth and labor, and red to the sacrifices of independence. The star itself stands for unity.
What 🇸🇳 means
A vertical triband with green, yellow and red stripes moving from the left to the right border, with the middle (yellow) stripe centrally printed with a five-pointed star in green.
The 🇸🇳 Flag: Senegal emoji represents the Republic of Senegal, a West African country. This country is informally referred to as just 'Senegal' and has the country code of 'SN' which is shown on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
