Meaning of flag: Denmark Emoji

The oldest national flag in the world, steeped in legend and history! This is the iconic *Dannebrog*, the national flag of Denmark. The flag features a red field with a white Nordic cross, offset to the hoist side. The white cross represents Christianity, a deep-rooted part of Danish heritage, while the red background is derived from the royal coat of arms.

Legend says the *Dannebrog* fell from the sky during a battle in Estonia in 1219, inspiring the Danish army to victory. This emoji is perfect for any conversation about Denmark's rich history, its vibrant Scandinavian culture (from hygge to Lego), or its beautiful capital, Copenhagen. It's a powerful symbol of a nation with a long and proud heritage.
