How it works

Peru flag is the Peruvian flag emoji, a P and an E that a phone joins into one picture. The flag is three upright bands, red, white and red. A Spanish nickname is el pendón bicolor, the two-colour banner.

Read the full guide

Red at both edges

The bands stand side by side, so a row of emoji gives them in their true order: Red, white, red in hearts reads as the flag does. The flag is 2 units high to 3 wide, and Peru flag block, small is exactly that, in six squares.

Peru or Canada

Canada flag is made the same way, red at both edges and white between, but its white band is twice the width of each red one and holds a red maple leaf. Austria flag is Peru's bands lying down. Their letters differ too: PE, CA and AT.

  • Fiestas Patrias is for 28 and 29 July, and the flag hangs on homes all that month. Flag Day in June is 7 June.

Questions and answers

What animal is on the Peru flag?

A vicuña, Peru's national animal. It stands on the coat of arms, which the state flag carries on its white band; the flag citizens fly is plain. No emoji is named vicuña, but CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, files the word under Llama.

Is there an emoticon of the Peru flag?

Not a standard one. An emoticon is typed with keyboard characters, and Peru flag in keyboard characters is ours: a frame with five columns of R at each edge and a gap between for the white band.

Why does the Peru flag emoji copy and paste as PE?

A flag emoji has no picture inside it. What you copy is P followed by E. A system with flag pictures swaps the pair for the flag; one without leaves the two letters, which Unicode's emoji standard permits.

What do the colours of the Peru flag mean?

Wikipedia gives red for the blood shed for independence and white for purity and peace, and also calls the symbolism uncertain. Another account it records links the colours to parihuanas, red and white flamingos. Flamingo is here for that story.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-16 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); each flag was checked against the list of recommended flag sequences, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-sequences.txt). In that list the Peru flag is U+1F1F5 U+1F1EA, regional indicators P and E, Emoji 2.0, and fourteen flags start with the letter P. 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): flag is the only word listed for the Peru flag, no emoji is listed under peru or peruvian, and vicuña is listed for the llama and for nothing else. 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); none of its currency signs is a sol sign. Unicode Technical Standard 51, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/) defines a flag emoji as a sequence of two Regional Indicator characters and, in Annex B, gives showing each as a letter as one option for a system with no picture for the pair.
