Mozambique flag emoji FAQ
Why does the Mozambique flag emoji show as MZ on my PC?

How do I get the Mozambique flag emoji on Windows?
Copy π²πΏ from this page and paste it into an app that draws its own emoji, such as a browser version of Slack, Discord or X. In Notepad and some Windows apps it will still look like MZ. Phones and Macs show it as a flag.
What other emojis look like the Mozambique flag?
πΏπΌ Zimbabwe has a red star in a white triangle and more stripes. Only Mozambique's emoji shows a small rifle and a book on the triangle.
Which country's flag shows a rifle?
Mozambique's. Its flag shows a bayonet-equipped AK-47 crossed with a hoe over an open book, on a red triangle with a gold star. According to Wikipedia it is the only national flag that features a modern firearm. On the π²πΏ emoji the details are tiny, so they may look like a smudge.
When was the Mozambique flag adopted?
The current design was adopted on 1 May 1983 and is written into the constitution. It is based on the first flag of FRELIMO, the movement that has governed since independence from Portugal on 25 June 1975. The π²πΏ emoji shows this version. See the Mozambique flag page.
What do the colours on the Mozambique flag mean?
