A golden Zimbabwe Bird sits inside a white triangle on Zimbabwe's flag, copied from soapstone carvings found at the ruins of Great Zimbabwe. Shona ancestors began building that stone city in the 11th century. Behind the bird, seven bands of green, yellow, red, and black repeat across the field, with a red star set beside it.
What 🇿🇼 means
A rectangular flag horizontally divided with a black stripe running through the middle. The upper portion is a triband of green, yellow, and orange, while the lower half is an inverse print of the same.
To the left of this arrangement is a white triangle based on the border of the flag, outlined with a thin black stripe. Within this triangle are a large red five-pointed star and a yellow print of a left-facing Zimbabwe bird on it.
The 🇿🇼 Flag: Zimbabwe emoji represents the Southern African landlocked state of Zimbabwe, formally addressed as the Republic of Zimbabwe. This emoji is shown as 'ZW' on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
