Monaco flag emoji FAQ
Why does the Monaco flag show as MC on my PC?
Windows has no flag emoji artwork, so it displays the two letters instead. The flag appears normally on iPhone, Mac, Android, and in most browsers on other systems through apps such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
What flag is ๐ฒ๐จ?
It is Monaco, a city-state on the Mediterranean coast between France and Italy.
Is ๐ฒ๐จ the same as ๐ฎ๐ฉ?
The two flags use the same red and white stripes in the same order, so the emoji look almost identical. Indonesia is ID, Monaco is MC. Poland's ๐ต๐ฑ is white over red.
When was the current Monaco flag adopted?
The red-over-white design became the flag on 4 April 1881, under Charles III. Red and white have been the heraldic colours of the House of Grimaldi since at least 1339, which is why the ๐ฒ๐จ emoji is just two plain bands with no emblem. See the Monaco flag page.
Why is the Monaco flag squarer than Indonesia's?
Monaco's flag has a 4:5 ratio, while Indonesia's is 2:3, and the two use different shades of red. Emoji draw every flag in a similar box, so that difference disappears on screen. Singapore's ๐ธ๐ฌ also uses red and white bands but adds a crescent and five stars.
