flag: United Kingdom 🇬🇧 - OzVoca Emoji Details
flag: United Kingdom
This emoji is the flag representing the United Kingdom, famously known as the 'Union Jack.' It's one of the most widely recognized flags in the world.
It's a design created by combining the flags of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It's an essential emoji when talking about British culture, like Britpop (as famous as K-pop), soccer, or the royal family.
The Union Jack is a symbol showing the union of several kingdoms. You can see the superimposed crosses of St. George of England, St. Andrew of Scotland, and St. Patrick of Ireland.
Interestingly, the flag of Wales is not included because Wales was already integrated into England when the first Union Jack was created. Today, the Union Jack is also beloved as a fashion item, becoming a symbol of modern British style known as 'Cool Britannia.'
