U+1F3F4 "🏴" Waving Black Flag Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🏴
U+1F3F4 "🏴" Waving Black Flag is a symbol encoded in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block, typically rendered as a plain black flag waving in the wind. It is distinct from the standard black flag emoji as it serves as a base for regional indicator sequences, most notably representing the black flag historically associated with anarchism, piracy, protest, or general mourning and defiance. While its standalone appearance lacks specific political or cultural context in official Unicode definitions, it often conveys rebellion or solidarity in digital communication. The character is also technically used as a foundation for subdivision flags when combined with other characters, though its primary visual is a solid, monochrome flag.
