🇦🇹 Austrian Flag

Flag Of Austria, Flag: Austria

Meaning and Description

This is a flag from Austria, a landlocked country in central Europe. Its flag surface is composed of two colors, which are red, white and red, which are parallel and equally wide horizontal rectangles from top to bottom.

The origin of this flag can be traced back to the Austrian Grand Duchy. It is said that when the Duke of Babenburg fought fiercely with King Richard I, the Duke's white uniforms were almost all red with blood, leaving only a white mark on his sword. From then on, the Duke's army adopted red, white and red as the flag colors. In 1786, the red and white flag was used as the flag of the whole army in Joseph II, and in 1919 it was officially designated as the Austrian flag.

This emoji is usually used to represent Austria. Except for the pattern depicted by JoyPixels platform, which is round, all other platforms depict rectangular national flags, and most of them are flying in the wind, showing a wavy shape.
