🇧🇳 flag: Brunei Emoji — Meaning, Copy & Paste

What Does the flag: Brunei Emoji 🇧🇳 Mean?

A yellow field with two diagonal stripes — black on top, white below — and the national emblem in red at the center. The emblem includes a crescent, parasol, and two upraised hands flanking a flag and tilted on its staff. Yellow represents the Sultan, black and white nod to the chief ministers, and the crescent symbolizes Islam, Brunei's official religion.

The Arabic motto reads 'Always render service by God's guidance.' The emoji appears during National Day (February 23), the Sultan's birthday (July 15), and posts about Bandar Seri Begawan's golden-domed Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque. Coded in Unicode 6.0 from BN, it pairs with mosque, oil drum (Brunei's oil wealth is famous), and palace emojis. Travelers tag it with Kampong Ayer water-village shots.

Few national flags are this richly detailed; the parasol-and-hands motif is unique. The country's full name is 'Brunei Darussalam,' meaning 'Brunei, Abode of Peace.' The Sultan's reign — over five decades long — makes him one of the world's longest-serving monarchs, and his lavish state ceremonies often feature the flag prominently in international news.
