U+26FF "⛿" White Flag with Horizontal Middle Black Stripe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⛿
U+26FF "⛿" White Flag with Horizontal Middle Black Stripe is a rarely used symbol that depicts a simple white flag bisected by a single horizontal black bar across its middle. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block and was added to the Unicode Standard primarily for use in Japanese map notations, where it can indicate a specific type of location or feature, such as a historical site or a point of interest, distinct from the more common white flag symbol. Its precise meaning can vary by context, but it generally carries connotations of surrender, truce, or neutral status, with the added black stripe potentially modifying or clarifying that intent.
