What is on the flag

A white field, a circle called the taegeuk, red above blue, and a black trigram in each corner. The four are Unicode characters: Trigram for heaven top left, Trigram for water top right, Trigram for fire bottom left, Trigram for earth bottom right.

The nearest emoji to the circle

Yin yang is the only emoji CLDR files under yin, yang or tao. Unicode gives it no red or blue, so Taegeuk in circles puts a red circle before a blue one.

  • If the flag pastes as KR, the two letters are standing in for the picture. Where flags are drawn it comes back.
  • 한국 is the name South Koreans use day to day and 대한민국 the full one. Both are tiles.
  • The flag has a name of its own, Taegeukgi: 태극기.

Questions and answers

Is the Korea flag emoji North or South Korea?

Unicode has one of each and names neither just Korea. South Korea flag is the letters K and R. North Korea flag is K and P and came later, in Emoji 2.0.

Is there a Korean flag emoticon?

The flag can be typed, because its trigrams are ordinary characters. Taegeukgi in trigrams is three lines: ☰ and ☵ above, ☯ in the middle, ☲ and ☷ below. South Korea flag in keyboard characters uses slashes instead.

What do the symbols on the South Korea flag emoji mean?

In Wikipedia's account the white field stands for peace and purity and the circle for harmony, blue for yin and red for yang. The trigrams are geon, gon, gam and ri: heaven, earth, water and fire.
