Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🏁 mean in a text message?▼
The black and white checkered flag, traditionally waved at the end of motor races to signal the finish. It represents completion, victory, and reaching the finish line. Use when something is finished, celebrating a race win, or indicating the completion of a goal. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
Why are flag emoji made of two letters?▼
Flag emoji use a system called Regional Indicator Symbols. Each flag is actually two invisible Unicode characters — the country's ISO 3166-1 two-letter code — which platforms combine into a flag image. This is why flags work differently from other emoji.
Does 🏁 display on all devices?▼
Most country flags display correctly on iOS, Android, and macOS. Windows has historically shown flag emoji as two-letter country codes (like "US") instead of flag images, though this is improving. Some subdivision flags (like states or provinces) have very limited support.
What is the shortcode for 🏁?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:checkered_flag:` to insert the Chequered Flag emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
