Flag symbol
Type :flag: · Marks
Unicode name Black Flag · Miscellaneous Symbols block · added in Unicode 4.0, 2003
What ⚑ is for
A solid flag, for marking something to come back to. The plain-text version of every "flag this" control, and one of the few marks that stays a glyph rather than turning into an emoji.
How to type ⚑
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:flag: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex
Input source and type 2691 with Option
held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2691 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
