Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🇲🇹 mean in a text message?▼
The flag of Malta, a vertical bicolor of white and red with the George Cross in the canton — awarded by King George VI in 1942 for the island's heroism during WWII. It represents the tiny Mediterranean nation with a history stretching back to the Knights of Malta and beyond. Use when referring to Malta, Valletta, the Knights of Malta, or Maltese culture. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
Why are flag emoji made of two letters?▼
Flag emoji use a system called Regional Indicator Symbols. Each flag is actually two invisible Unicode characters — the country's ISO 3166-1 two-letter code — which platforms combine into a flag image. This is why flags work differently from other emoji.
Does 🇲🇹 display on all devices?▼
Most country flags display correctly on iOS, Android, and macOS. Windows has historically shown flag emoji as two-letter country codes (like "US") instead of flag images, though this is improving. Some subdivision flags (like states or provinces) have very limited support.
What is the shortcode for 🇲🇹?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:flag-mt:` to insert the Malta Flag emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
