People fly this one for national pride, reunification day, and any Hanoi-or-Ho-Chi-Minh-City travel post: a plain red field with a single yellow star. Vietnamese speakers call it co do sao vang, and the design dates to a 1940 uprising banner that became the united country's official flag in 1976, reading clean even at emoji size.
What 🇻🇳 means
A rectangular flag with a red field and a large yellow five-pointed star in the middle. The 🇻🇳 Flag: Vietnam emoji represents the Southeast Asian country, Vietnam, officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
This emoji is shown as 'VN' on some platforms.
The flag itself shows a red field with a large gold five-pointed star — the red for revolution, the star's points for the classes of society building the nation. 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.
