What 🇸🇾 means
A rectangular flag with three horizontal bands; red, white, and black. The white band had two green five-pointed stars in the middle. The 🇸🇾 Flag: Syria emoji refers to the west Asian country, Syria, officially known as the Syrian Arab Republic.
This emoji is shown as 'SY' on some platforms.
The flag itself shows Syria's national flag — and a design in transition: following the fall of the Assad government, the green-white-black flag with three red stars has been adopted, so what your device shows depends on how recently its emoji art was updated. As with every flag emoji, it's built from two regional-indicator letters, so a few platforms display the letter pair instead of the artwork.
