Flag of Costa Rica

The flag of Costa Rica consists of five horizontal stripes: blue at the top and bottom, white next to them, and a red stripe in the center. The blue symbolizes opportunity and perseverance, white stands for peace and honesty, while red represents the blood shed for independence and the warmth of the Costa Rican people. It is widely recognized in Central America and is used in international events such as sports competitions and diplomatic functions. In Unicode, it is rendered by combining Regional Indicator Symbols U+1F1E8 and U+1F1F7, with slight variations in color and aspect ratio across platforms. The design reflects both historical significance and a modern aesthetic, making it a powerful emblem of national pride.
