Meaning
The flag of England, the Cross of St George: a red cross on a white field. It represents England alone, not the whole United Kingdom, which uses the Union Jack.
Used for England’s football and cricket teams, St George’s Day, pubs and countryside trips, with ⚽ or 🦁. It is built from a special tag sequence, so some older devices may show a plain black flag instead. “Come on England, big match tonight 🏴⚽”
