What the Eswatini flag emoji means
The Eswatini flag emoji is used for national pride and for travel posts about wildlife reserves and the Umhlanga Reed Dance, held each year in late August or September. The country was officially renamed from Swaziland to Eswatini in 2018, so older articles and emoji lists may use the former name. Independence Day is 6 September, marking 1968, when it became independent from the United Kingdom. The black and white shield in the centre is shown with a staff and two spears.

Eswatini flag emoji FAQ
Why does the Eswatini flag show as SZ 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 Eswatini flag emoji on Windows?
Windows shows letters, not flags, so copy πΈπΏ 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.
Is Eswatini the same as Swaziland?
Yes. King Mswati III announced the new name in April 2018. The country code is SZ, which is why you can still find the flag when searching for Swaziland.
