They actually count as two characters: the two-letter country code (the ISO international standard). The unicode and shortcode both represent country data which devices can interpret and display the emoji.
| Country Code | Unicode | Shortcode |
| CZ | U+1F1E8 U+1F1FF | :flag_CZ: :CZ: |
Emoji shortcodes are used on some platforms as a way for users to type in emojis from the keyboard. If you type the emoji shortcode on Github or Slack, the emoji will appear.
*The official name of the emoji is only the country name, not ‘Czech Republic Flag’, for example.

The flag of the Czech Republic stands as a powerful symbol of national identity, blending centuries of regional heritage with the hopes of a modern, independent nation. Featuring two horizontal bands of white and red with a distinctive blue triangle at the hoist, the Czech flag represents not merely the Czech people but also encompasses historical connections to Slovakia and other Central European traditions. The design, adopted in 1920, has endured through decades of political upheaval, foreign occupation, communist rule, and national transformation, making it one of Europe’s most historically significant national symbols.
Origins in the Czechoslovak Vision
The history of the Czech flag begins with the establishment of Czechoslovakia in 1918, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of World War I. In its initial conception, the newly formed nation adopted the simple red and white horizontal bicolor that had long represented Bohemia, a region whose traditions stretched back to medieval times. However, this minimalist approach quickly proved inadequate for a diverse nation comprising not only Bohemians but also Moravians, Slovaks, and Ruthenians—each with their own distinct cultural identities and historical traditions. The red and white flag resembled Poland’s flag so closely that it created diplomatic and symbolic confusion on the international stage.
Recognizing the need for a design that would accommodate the nation’s multicultural character, the Czechoslovak government held a competition to reimagine the national flag. The winning entry came from Jaroslav Kursa, an archivist working in the Czechoslovak Ministry of the Interior. Kursa’s innovative solution added a blue isosceles triangle based on the hoist side of the flag, extending approximately halfway across the rectangle. This modification maintained the established colors of Bohemia and Moravia while introducing blue as a new element—a color historically significant to Slovakia and Ruthenian traditions. On March 30, 1920, the National Assembly of Czechoslovakia officially approved this design, establishing the flag that would, in various forms, endure for over a century.
Color Symbolism and Regional Representation
Each element of the Czech flag carries profound symbolic weight rooted in Central European history and regional identity. The white field of the upper horizontal band represents Bohemia, traditionally symbolized by a crowned white lion against a red shield in medieval heraldry. White also embodies broader concepts of peace, purity, and clarity in vexillological tradition. The red band beneath it represents Moravia, a historical region that together with Bohemia formed the core of the Czech lands. Red symbolizes not merely the region itself but also, as official descriptions note, the “bloodshed for the freedom of the state”—a poignant acknowledgment of struggles for independence and sovereignty throughout Central European history.
The blue triangle, perhaps the most distinctive feature of the flag, originally symbolized Slovakia, honoring the Slovak people’s place within the Czechoslovak federation. Blue was chosen because it appeared in Slovak and Ruthenian traditional colors and heraldic representations, making it a unifying element that acknowledged the legitimate cultural standing of these groups within the larger state. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992 and the Czech Republic’s independent status, the blue triangle evolved its symbolic meaning to represent “impartiality and sovereignty”—qualities essential to an independent nation navigating its place in the modern world. The geometric precision of the triangle, mathematically positioned as an isosceles form extending to the flag’s midpoint, gives the design both visual balance and symbolic depth.
Survival Through War and Occupation
The flag’s history is inextricably linked to some of the twentieth century’s most turbulent events. For two decades following its 1920 adoption, the Czechoslovak flag represented a young nation building itself during the challenging interwar period. However, this period of relative stability ended abruptly with Nazi Germany’s territorial ambitions in the late 1930s. Following the Munich Agreement of 1938 and the subsequent German invasion, Nazi occupying forces banned the Czechoslovak flag entirely from 1939 to 1945. As an act of cultural suppression meant to erase Czech national identity, the Nazis replaced it with a horizontal tricolor of white, red, and blue—superficially similar but stripped of the distinctive triangle that had come to represent Czechoslovak unity.
This dark chapter in the flag’s history, when the symbol of national identity became contraband, only enhanced its emotional resonance for the Czech and Slovak peoples. When Nazi occupation ended in 1945, the original Czechoslovak flag was triumphantly restored without modification, carrying new significance as a symbol of liberation and reclaimed identity. Throughout the subsequent communist era—first as part of Czechoslovakia under Soviet influence, then following the Prague Spring of 1968—the flag maintained its 1920 design, remaining a constant amid radical political and social transformations.
Independence and Contemporary Significance
When Czechoslovakia peacefully dissolved in December 1992—a phenomenon termed the “Velvet Divorce”—the Czech Republic made a significant constitutional choice by adopting the historic Czechoslovak flag as its own national symbol. While Slovakia developed an entirely new flag incorporating its own coat of arms, the Czech Republic selected continuity, retaining the design that had represented the entire Czech nation since 1920. This decision reflected both respect for historical tradition and practical continuity; the flag already possessed deep emotional and historical resonance among the Czech people.
Today, the Czech flag waves proudly across the European Union as a member state, its design essentially unchanged since 1920—making it one of Europe’s oldest continuously-used national flags among modern states. The flag’s resilience, having survived Nazi occupation, communist rule, and national redivision, embodies the Czech people’s enduring determination to maintain their distinct identity and cultural heritage. From the medieval kingdoms of Bohemia to the modern Czech Republic, from the cosmopolitan dreams of the early twentieth century to the complexities of contemporary European integration, the white, red, and blue flag remains a constant symbol of continuity, pride, and the Czech nation’s place in the broader tapestry of European civilization.
