Update the Syrian Flag Emoji

The Issue

In an era where digital communication shapes global narratives, emojis have become more than just symbols—they represent identities, histories, and nations. The Syrian flag emoji, however, remains outdated and disconnected from the reality recognized by millions worldwide.

The new Syrian flag, with its green, white, and black stripes and three red stars, is proudly flown at embassies, displayed in international gatherings, and embraced by Syrians across the globe as a symbol of hope, freedom, and resilience.

Yet, in the digital world, the outdated flag persists—failing to represent the voice of the people and the progress of a nation striving for change.

We call on Unicode Consortium and major tech companies to recognize the will of millions and update the Syrian flag emoji to reflect the widely recognized flag of Syria.

It's time to bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. Together, let's ensure that the Syrian identity is accurately represented—both offline and online.
