Where does 🇨🇿 Flag for Czech Republic emoji come from?

The flag for the Czech Republic features a white horizontal band with a red horizontal band beneath it and a blue triangle to the left.

The red and white colors of the flag are a reference to the 12^th century coat of arms of the Duchy of Bohemia, which showed a white crowned lion on a red shield. The former country of Czechoslovakia, created in 1918, used these colors in a flag that was identical to the Polish flag. In 1920, the current version of the flag, with a blue wedge added to represent Slovakia, was adopted.

The flag had a turbulent history after that. Czechoslovakia was invaded by the Nazis during World War II, who instated their own flag from 1939–45. During the Velvet Revolution of the early 1990s, the Czech flag was dropped for the older version sans blue wedge. In 1993, Czechoslovakia became two countries—the Czech Republic (Czechia) and Slovakia. The Czech Republic adopted the blue wedge flag, claiming the blue now represented the state of Moravia.

The flag for the Czech Republic was added to Unicode’s Emoji 1.0 set in 2015. On some platforms, like Apple, it appears as its slightly waving. The emoji may display as the letters CZ, the Czech Republic‘s country code, on older platforms.
