What the Jamaica flag emoji means

The Jamaica flag emoji is a gold diagonal cross that divides the field into green triangles at the top and bottom and black triangles at the sides. It is used for reggae, sprinting, Blue Mountain coffee and national pride. Jamaica became independent from the United Kingdom on 6 August 1962, and Independence Day is celebrated that day. Emancipation Day, 1 August, marks the end of slavery in 1838.

How to type the Jamaica flag emoji

On iPhone or Android, open the emoji keyboard and search for “Jamaica” or “flag”. On a Mac, press Ctrl+Cmd+Space and type the same word. On Windows 10 and 11, press Win + . and search there, but Windows shows the letters JM instead of a flag, because Microsoft's emoji font has no country flags. The emoji is built from two regional indicator letters, J and M, which supported platforms combine into one flag. If you see the letters on another device, the app or font does not support flags.
