What ๐ธ๐ฟ means
Eswatini's flag: blue, yellow and crimson bands, with a black and white Nguni shield, two spears and a staff across the middle. It represents Eswatini, the small kingdom in southern Africa.
Emaswati use it for national pride and cultural events like the Umhlanga reed dance. Travelers tag game reserves and mountain drives with it.
The country was called Swaziland until it changed its name, and the emoji's name changed with it.
