Indonesia flag emoji FAQ
Why does the Indonesia flag show as letters instead of a flag?
Some systems, mainly Windows, do not include flag artwork, so they show the letters ID instead of a picture. Phones, Macs, and most browsers on other platforms display it normally.
How do I get the Indonesia flag emoji on Windows?
Windows 10 and 11 show country flags as letters in most apps. Copy the emoji from this page and paste it into a phone, Mac or web app that draws its own flag images, such as Discord or Slack.
How do I tell Indonesia and Monaco apart?
The emojis look almost identical: red over white. Monaco ๐ฒ๐จ is squarer in proportion (4:5 against 2:3). Check the letters ID and MC if you are unsure.
Is Poland's emoji the same?
No. Poland ๐ต๐ฑ is white over red, the opposite order.
When was the Indonesia flag first raised?
It was first hoisted in public at the proclamation of independence on 17 August 1945 in Jakarta, and again when the Dutch formally transferred sovereignty on 27 December 1949. The red-and-white design has not changed since, so the ๐ฎ๐ฉ emoji matches the current flag.
How is the Indonesia flag different from Singapore's?
Singapore's flag has exactly the same dimensions, 2:3, but adds a white crescent moon and five stars in the upper left corner. Its red is also slightly lighter than Indonesia's. On emoji, ๐ธ๐ฌ has those symbols and ๐ฎ๐ฉ is plain red over white.
Can I paste the Indonesia flag emoji into any chat app?
Yes. Tap the copy button on this page and paste it into a message, post or document. It will show as a red and white flag on any device or app that supports flag emoji, and as the two letters ID on systems without flag artwork.
