What the Belgium flag emoji means
The Belgium flag emoji is a vertical tricolor of black, yellow and red. The colors come from the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant. It is used for the Red Devils football team, for cycling, and for Belgian chocolate, waffles and beer. National Day is 21 July, which commemorates the oath of Leopold I in 1831.
How to type the Belgium flag emoji
On iPhone or Android, open the emoji keyboard and search for โBelgiumโ or โflagโ. On a Mac, press Ctrl+Cmd+Space and type the same word. On Windows 10 and 11, press Win + . and search there, but Windows shows the letters BE instead of a flag, because Microsoft's emoji font has no country flags. The emoji is built from two regional indicator letters, B and E, which supported platforms combine into one flag. If you see the letters on another device, the app or font does not support flags.
