The flag of South Korea, the Taegukgi, is white with the red and blue taegeuk circle and four black trigrams. It means South Korea, balance, and a culture that exports joy worldwide.
It tags K-pop comebacks, K-dramas, Korean food, and Seoul travel photos, flying high on the Hallyu wave.
In texting, 🇰🇷 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🇰🇷 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the South Korea Flag emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the south korea flag emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🇰🇷 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
