The Indian flag emoji ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ is the first thing many of us add on 15 August and 26 January, and this page puts it one tap away along with every India emoji people use most for festivals, sport and culture. Tap any emoji in the grid to copy it.

India celebrates many festivals, and the emoji set does not have a ready picture for each one. So below you will find which real emojis people combine for Diwali, Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Navratri, Eid, Christmas and more, with short original wishes you can copy. We keep the tone respectful: these are suggestions, and every family has its own way of greeting.

How the India Flag Emoji Works

The India flag emoji is not one character. It is two special letters, called regional indicator symbols, for I and N (the country code for India). Phones read the pair and draw the tiranga. That has two effects:

  • When you copy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ you copy both letters together. If you delete it, you may need to press backspace twice.
  • On Windows PCs, flags usually appear as the letters "IN" instead of a picture, because Windows does not draw country flag emojis. The flag is still there; it will show properly when the message is opened on a phone.

There is no single Word code for the flag, so copy it from this page. If you want only the colours, the tiranga emoji combo ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’š is popular for Independence Day and Republic Day. Many people prefer to use the flag in proud or respectful messages rather than jokes. For India's other official emblems, see national symbols of India.

Indian Emoji Meanings: The Grid Explained

EmojiUnicode nameCommon Indian use
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณFlag: IndiaIndependence Day, Republic Day, cheering India
๐Ÿช”Diya lampDiwali, puja, light and good wishes
๐Ÿ™Folded handsNamaste, thank you, please, prayer
๐Ÿ•‰๏ธOmSacred sound in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism
๐ŸงฟNazar amuletProtection from the evil eye, "nazar na lage"
๐Ÿ”ฑTrident emblemTrishul, linked with Lord Shiva
๐ŸชทLotusPurity, India's national flower
๐ŸฆšPeacockNational bird, used in Krishna wishes
๐ŸฏTiger faceNational animal, wildlife
๐ŸCricket gameMatch day, cricket fans
๐ŸฅปSariSaree, ethnic wear, festive look

๐Ÿ™ can be misread outside India as a high five, but Indian readers almost always take it as namaste or thanks; see namaste symbol. ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ is one of the original emojis; ๐Ÿช” and ๐Ÿฅป came in Emoji 12.0 and ๐Ÿชท in Emoji 14.0, so very old phones may show a box. Text versions of these signs are on om symbol, trishul symbol and evil eye symbol.

Festival Emojis: Diwali, Holi, Rakhi, Navratri and More

Many festivals have no dedicated emoji, so people build one from real emojis. Use the closest set below.

FestivalEmojis people use
Diwali๐Ÿช” โœจ ๐ŸŽ† ๐ŸŽ‡ ๐Ÿฌ ๐Ÿชท
Holi๐ŸŽจ ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐ŸŒˆ ๐Ÿฅณ
Raksha Bandhan (rakhi)๐ŸŽ ๐Ÿงฟ ๐Ÿ‘ซ ๐Ÿ’– (there is no rakhi emoji)

Gurpurab๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿช” โœจ (๐Ÿชฏ khanda on supported devices)

In short: the Holi emoji pair most people send is ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ’ฆ, the Navratri emoji set is ๐Ÿช”๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿช˜, and for a dandiya emoji the dancers ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บ are the closest match. An Eid Mubarak emoji message usually starts with ๐ŸŒ™โœจ, and the classic Christmas emojis are ๐ŸŽ„ and ๐ŸŽ…. ๐Ÿชˆ (flute) and ๐Ÿชฏ are newer emojis, so they may not show on older phones.

Krishna Emoji, Ganesha Emoji and God Emoji: What to Know

There is no emoji of any god or goddess in Unicode. That includes Krishna, Ganesha, Durga and others. When people search for a god emoji, they usually want a respectful symbol set to add to a wish. Common choices:

  • Krishna emoji: ๐Ÿชˆ๐Ÿฆš (flute and peacock, since Krishna is often shown with a flute and a peacock feather) or ๐Ÿฆš๐Ÿ™ for "Jai Shree Krishna".
  • Ganesha emoji: ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ with ๐Ÿ˜ is a common set; some people prefer only ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒบ and avoid the animal picture.
  • Shiva: ๐Ÿ”ฑ with ๐Ÿ•‰๏ธ.
  • Durga Maa: ๐Ÿ”ฑ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ™.

These are informal choices. If you are unsure how a family or group feels, a simple ๐Ÿ™ or ๐Ÿช” is always respectful. For symbols from other faiths, see religious symbols.

Frequently asked questions

How do I copy the Indian flag emoji?

Tap ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ in the grid above and it is copied. Paste it anywhere. On a Windows PC it may look like the letters IN, but phones will show the flag.

Why does the India flag emoji show as IN on my computer?

Flag emojis are made of two letter codes. Windows does not draw country flags, so it shows the letters I and N. The message is correct and will show the flag on Android and iPhone.

Is there a Krishna emoji?

No, Unicode has no emoji for any deity. Many people use ๐Ÿชˆ๐Ÿฆš (flute and peacock) or ๐Ÿฆš๐Ÿ™ in Janmashtami and Jai Shree Krishna messages.

Is there a Diwali emoji?

The closest is ๐Ÿช” diya lamp, its Unicode name. Add โœจ ๐ŸŽ† or ๐Ÿฌ for a full Diwali feel.

Which emoji is used for Rakhi?

There is no rakhi emoji. People use ๐ŸŽ, ๐Ÿงฟ or ๐Ÿ’– with "Happy Raksha Bandhan", and ๐Ÿ‘ซ for brother and sister.

Is there a cricket emoji?

Yes, ๐Ÿ (cricket game) shows a bat and ball. Add ๐Ÿ† for a win or ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ to cheer for India.
