It is a horizontal triband of blue, white and blue with the national coat of arms in the white stripe. It was adopted on 24 March 1916 and is officially called the Bandera Magna. The blue stripes stand for the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, meant to represent Central America as a whole, and white stands for peace.
Does the El Salvador flag always show the coat of arms?
No. The Bandera Magna has the coat of arms in the centre of the white stripe, but the version for public buildings and offices replaces it with the national motto, "Dios, Union, Libertad", in gold capital letters. The ๐ธ๐ป emoji uses the coat of arms version, as a tiny detail.
