Flag of Benin

Emoji depicting the national flag of the Republic of Benin. It features green, yellow, and red colors.

This emoji depicts the national flag of the Republic of Benin in West Africa. The design consists of a vertical green stripe on the hoist side and two horizontal stripes of yellow above red on the fly side. Green represents hope and agriculture, yellow signifies wealth and peace, and red symbolizes courage and independence. It is useful for indicating the country in travel plans or international sporting events. The flag emoji is rendered by combining two Regional Indicator Symbols, and colors or aspect ratios may vary slightly across platforms. Benin, formerly the Kingdom of Dahomey, adopted this design upon its name change in 1975, reflecting its history and culture. You can use this emoji in social media posts, news headlines, or chat to reference Benin without typing the country’s name. It was introduced in Unicode E2.0 and remains supported in later releases.
