What the Taiwan flag emoji means
The Taiwan flag emoji shows the flag of the Republic of China: a red field with a blue canton and a white sun with twelve rays. People use it for Taipei travel, bubble tea, tech and baseball, and for National Day on 10 October, known as Double Ten, which marks the 1911 Wuchang Uprising. Some devices sold in mainland China hide the emoji, so it may not display everywhere.
