San Marino flag emoji FAQ
Why does the San Marino flag show as SM on my screen?
Your system has no flag artwork and shows the two regional indicator letters instead. This is normal on Windows. Phones, Macs and most browsers on other systems display the flag.
How do I get the San Marino flag emoji on Windows?
Windows shows letters, not flags, so copy ๐ธ๐ฒ from this page and paste it into apps that draw their own emoji, such as Chrome-based websites, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp Web, or use a flag-capable font.
How do you tell the San Marino emoji from similar flags?
Look for the white and light blue stripes. At small sizes the coat of arms may blur, but the colours distinguish it from the blue-and-white flags of Argentina or Greece.
What does the San Marino flag emoji show?
It shows two equal bands, white on top and light blue below, with the national coat of arms in the center. The arms have a shield with three towers on three peaks, a crown, an oak and laurel wreath, and a scroll reading LIBERTAS, meaning freedom.
Does San Marino have a flag without the coat of arms?
Yes. Besides the official flag with the arms, a de facto civil flag that omits the coat of arms is sometimes flown. That plain white and light blue version is also the closest match for how ๐ธ๐ฒ looks when the arms blur at small sizes.
