Search reads names and search words. Beige finds the beige flag and a key for chat, racing finds nine tiles, from Chequered flag to a key of six racing flags, and beach finds four. Plain text finds eight tiles with no emoji in them.
Not by name. The one chat uses is Triangular flag, U+1F6A9, from Emoji 0.6. CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files construction, flag, golf, post and triangular under it, never red.
A red flag: a warning that something is wrong. That is its Internet slang sense. Unicode's character list glosses the same character as location information, and on maps it can mark a public golf course.
What is a green flag, and what is a beige flag?
A green flag is a sign of a positive trait in someone, by analogy with the red flag as a warning. A beige flag is a sign that someone is boring or unoriginal, or a mundane but mildly unusual quirk of a partner.
What does a green flag mean in racing?
Go. The starter usually shows a solid green flag to start a race, and it marks a restart too. Yellow tells drivers to slow down for a hazard, red stops the session and the chequered flag ends the race.
π΄Black flagU+1F3F4. Informally, a black flag is an extreme red flag: a sign that something is extremely wrong. Unicode's character list calls this one Waving black flag. Emoji 1.0.
π³οΈWhite flagU+1F3F3 U+FE0F. A white flag is a symbol of truce or surrender. CLDR files neither word under it, so both are search words here. It has a plain text form. Emoji 0.7.
π₯Red squareU+1F7E5. CLDR files card and penalty under it as well as red and square. Emoji 12.0.
β οΈWarningU+26A0 U+FE0F. A dictionary red flag is a cue, a warning or an alert. CLDR files two words under this sign, caution and warning. Emoji 0.6.
π¨Yellow squareU+1F7E8. CLDR files card and penalty under this one too. Emoji 12.0.

α¦Runic pennant, halfwayU+16A6 Runic letter thurisaz thurs thorn. The runic letter Thurisaz: the same pennant halfway down its pole. It is a letter, not an emoji.
βText flag, filledU+2691 Black flag. Named Black flag, but it is not an emoji, so it takes the colour of the text around it: set in green it is a green flag, set in red a red one.
βText flag, outlineU+2690 White flag. Named White flag: the same flag in outline. It has no entry in Unicode's emoji list, so it is a plain text character.

How this list was compiled: Built by script on 2026-09-19, not typed by hand. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers come from emoji-test.txt, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file, in sentence case. In that file no emoji name holds green flag or red flag. The flag subgroup has eight emoji that are not country or region flags: Chequered flag, Triangular flag (U+1F6A9, Emoji 0.6), Crossed flags, Black flag, White flag, Rainbow flag, Transgender flag and Pirate flag. Green square, Green circle and the yellow, orange, brown, red and blue squares are Emoji 12.0; Green heart and Check mark button are Emoji 0.6; Pink heart is Emoji 15.0, and no square is pink. The search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml, main branch). CLDR lists construction, flag, golf, post and triangular for the triangular flag, and never red; green and square for the green square; card, penalty, red and square for the red square; flag, waving and white for the white flag; caution and warning for the warning sign; bull for the ox; and nothing at all for green flag, red flag, beige, truce, surrender or pennant. The text forms come from emoji-variation-sequences.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt). Every character that is not an emoji was checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and a note that names a character uses its name from that file. In UnicodeData.txt U+1F6A9 is named TRIANGULAR FLAG ON POST, and the character list glosses it as location information; U+1F3F4 is WAVING BLACK FLAG and U+1F3F3 WAVING WHITE FLAG. The four plain text characters (U+2691 BLACK FLAG, U+2690 WHITE FLAG, and the runic letters U+16B9 and U+16A6) were checked against the emoji list: none has an entry there. Wiktionary supplied the meanings of the flag colours, read as wikitext on 2026-09-20: green flag (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green_flag), red flag (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/red_flag), beige flag, yellow flag, orange flag, pink flag, black flag, white flag, blue flag and chequered flag (each at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ plus its name), and the entry for the triangular flag character itself, which records its Internet slang sense, a warning that something is wrong, and its use on maps for a public golf course (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%F0%9F%9A%A9). Political senses in those entries are left out. Wikipedia supplied the signals, read as wikitext on 2026-09-20: the green, yellow, red, black, light blue and chequered racing flags, the black corner by the top of the pole and the lack of a standard chequered design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_flags); the railway guard and the dating sense of a green flag (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_flag); railway wayside flags, the green flag for a goal in Gaelic football and hurling, the red and yellow bathing area flags and the beach colours used on many Australian beaches (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag); and the game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_the_flag). Beach and railway flags differ from place to place: the notes report what those pages say and are not safety advice. The 12 lines, the 10 flag blocks and drawings and the combos are this site's own work: styled words are assembled from character names, rectangular blocks are checked to be rectangles, and the two list lines are samples to type over. No person, team, series, maker, platform or organisation other than Unicode is named. The Unicode and CLDR files were checked on 2026-09-19 and the Wiktionary and Wikipedia pages on 2026-09-20.
