Flag: Lebanon 🇱🇧

Lebanon's flag displays three horizontal stripes—red on top and bottom, white in the middle—with a green cedar tree standing prominently in the center. The cedar is the national emblem and represents strength, eternity, and Lebanon's historical identity; it appears on coins, official seals, and cultural symbols throughout the country. The red and white colors echo the nation's complex history and its aspirations for peace and independence.

Digitally, people use this flag to express Lebanese identity, whether they're living in Lebanon or part of the global Lebanese diaspora. It appears frequently in social media when discussing Middle Eastern news, celebrating Lebanese Independence Day (November 22), or sharing pride in the country's rich culinary and cultural heritage—from cedar forests to Mediterranean beaches.

The flag often accompanies conversations about Lebanese food, music, family connections, or support during times of national importance. Young people especially use it to signal their background in bios and posts, while news outlets and activists use it when covering Lebanese affairs.

Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 2 in 2015, the Lebanese flag carries particular significance as a symbol of national pride and resilience in Middle Eastern digital discourse.
