Sweden's gold-on-blue cross follows the same off-center layout as Denmark's much older Dannebrog, the flag that gave every Nordic country its cross design. The blue and yellow themselves trace to a royal coat of arms from 1275, making this one of the longest-running color pairings on any national flag still flying today.
What 🇸🇪 means
A blue flag with a thick yellow band running through the horizontal middle and a vertical band of the same color striking the former a little to the left from the center.
The 🇸🇪 Flag: Sweden emoji represents the Kingdom of Sweden, informally addressed as 'Sweden'; a Nordic North European country. This flag emoji is shown as 'SE' on some platforms.
