The script on the flag is the 'Shahada', the core creed of Islam. Because of the sacred text, the flag is characteristically never flown at half-mast, even to express mourning.

This flag is made with different designs on the obverse and reverse so the script reads correctly from either side. Although it has a strong religious meaning, this emoji has also been used recently when mentioning Saudi Arabia's economic development or future projects like 'Neom City'.
