Emoji Codes
Flag emojis are unicode symbols, like any other letter or number on your keyboard. This means you can copy and paste the emoji itself into your code, whatever the language (click the button above).
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 |
| RS | U+1F1F7 U+1F1F8 | :flag_RS: :RS: |
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 ‘Serbia Flag’, for example.
Description
Description
The flag of Serbia is made up of three equal horizontal stripes of red (top), blue, and white – the Pan-Slav colors representing freedom and revolutionary ideals. Charged with the coat of arms of Serbia shifted slightly to the hoist side. The principal field of the coat of arms represents the Serbian state and displays a white two-headed eagle on a red shield. A smaller red shield on the eagle represents the Serbian nation, and is divided into four quarters by a white cross. Interpretations vary as to the meaning and origin of the white, curved symbols resembling firesteels (fire strikers) or Cyrillic “C’s” in each quarter. A royal crown surmounts the coat of arms.

Design and Symbolism
The flag of Serbia consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width in red, white, and blue, from top to bottom. Positioned on the hoist side of the flag is the Serbian coat of arms, featuring a crowned double-headed white eagle with a shield on its chest. This heraldic design makes the Serbian flag one of the most distinctive in Southeast Europe, combining a simple tricolor base with a prominent and historically significant emblem. The coat of arms itself is topped with a crown, known as the Crown of Nemanja, which represents the medieval Serbian dynasty that ruled the region during its golden age. The flag’s aspect ratio is 2:3, and its design reflects Serbia’s complex history spanning medieval kingdoms, Ottoman occupation, and modern independence.
Historical Origins and Development
The colors of the Serbian flag have deep historical roots extending back to medieval Serbia. The red, white, and blue tricolor was adopted during the Balkan uprisings of the 19th century against Ottoman rule, when Serbian nationalists looked to Slavic heritage and pan-Slavic symbolism. The specific arrangement of these colors was influenced by the Russian flag, reflecting Serbian-Russian cultural and Orthodox Christian ties. During the 20th century, as Serbia became part of Yugoslavia, the flag was modified to include communist symbols. The modern Serbian flag, in its current form with the double-headed eagle and crown, was officially adopted on August 22, 2004, following Serbia’s transition from the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro to an independent republic.
The coat of arms featured on the flag draws directly from medieval Serbian heraldry. The double-headed white eagle first appeared in Serbian royal seals and emblems during the medieval period, particularly under the rule of the Nemanja dynasty (1169–1371). The Crown of Nemanja, the ornamental crown atop the eagle, specifically references this medieval heritage and remains one of Serbia’s most recognizable national symbols. When Yugoslavia dissolved in the 1990s and Serbia eventually gained its independence, the modern flag design was carefully chosen to emphasize these historical connections while establishing a distinct Serbian national identity separate from its Yugoslav past.
Symbolism of Colors and Emblem
The three horizontal stripes of the Serbian flag each carry profound meaning within Serbian culture and history. Red, positioned at the top, represents courage, determination, and the sacrifices made throughout Serbian history in struggles for freedom and independence. White, the middle stripe, symbolizes peace, hope, and purity—values central to Serbian national aspirations. Blue, at the bottom, traditionally represents loyalty, truth, and vigilance in heraldic symbolism, and also connects to Serbia’s place within the broader Slavic world. Together, these colors reflect Serbia’s commitment to these ideals as a modern nation.
The double-headed white eagle on the flag is equally significant, embodying Serbian sovereignty and historical continuity. The eagle’s dual heads represent Serbia’s role at the crossroads of Eastern and Western civilization, as well as the eagle’s traditional association with power and protection in European heraldry. The shield on the eagle’s chest, which itself contains a smaller version of the double-headed eagle, creates a layering of symbolism emphasizing national identity and unity. The Crown of Nemanja crowning the eagle directly honors Serbia’s medieval period, often called the Serbian Empire under Stefan Dušan, when the nation reached the height of its territorial expansion and cultural influence. This reference to medieval greatness serves as a reminder of Serbia’s historical importance in the Balkans.
Modern Adoption and National Significance
The current official flag of Serbia was formally adopted on August 22, 2004, during a period of significant political transformation. At that time, Serbia was transitioning from the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro toward full independence, which was officially recognized in 2006. The adoption of the modern flag design represented a deliberate choice to emphasize historical Serbian symbols and to distinguish Serbia’s national identity in the post-Yugoslav era. Unlike the Yugoslav flags of previous decades, which incorporated communist imagery and symbols, the new Serbian flag deliberately returned to medieval and historical sources, reflecting a broader European trend of post-communist nations reclaiming historical national symbols.
The flag is displayed prominently throughout Serbia at government buildings, public institutions, and during national celebrations. Serbian Independence Day (June 28, commemorating the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 in the Serbian calendar) is particularly significant, with the flag flying across the nation as citizens mark this historically crucial date. The flag has become a powerful symbol of Serbian national pride and sovereignty, particularly given Serbia’s recent history of conflict and the challenges of establishing independent statehood. In contemporary Serbia, the flag represents not only political independence but also cultural continuity and connection to the nation’s medieval heritage.
Notable Facts and Cultural Presence
Serbia’s flag is notable for featuring the coat of arms prominently on the hoist side, distinguishing it from many other tricolor flags that reserve heraldic emblems for the center. This placement gives the Serbian flag a distinctive appearance and makes it immediately recognizable among world flags. The specific positioning of the coat of arms required careful consideration during the flag’s design process, as the double-headed eagle and crown had to be proportioned to display clearly without overwhelming the tricolor base.
The double-headed eagle has particular resonance within Serbian culture and history. This symbol appears throughout Serbian heritage, including on historic manuscripts, coins, and architectural elements dating back centuries. During the 1990s Yugoslav Wars, the flag became a contested symbol within the Balkans, representing Serbia’s distinct identity and sovereignty. Today, the flag serves as an important diplomatic symbol internationally, representing Serbia’s place as a modern European nation building relationships with its neighbors and the broader European community. The flag’s design successfully bridges Serbia’s medieval past with its contemporary identity, making it a powerful and meaningful national symbol that continues to evolve in its cultural significance.
