About the Peru flag emoji
🇵🇪 is the flag of Peru: red, white and red vertical bands; the state flag adds the coat of arms. Like every country flag, the Peru emoji is really two regional indicator letters, P and E, spelling the ISO code PE; side by side, PE merge into the Peru flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there PE appears as the letters P E. Peru (PE) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); PE renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy PE from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Peru with the other South America flags, such as Bolivia, listed beside Peru.

Peru flag: design and meaning
The 🇵🇪 emoji shows the civil flag of Peru: three vertical stripes in red, white and red. In Spanish, the flag is called bandera de Perú, a name that also applies to the emoji.
The bandera peruana is a symbol of independence, and its red and white colours have been used since the country’s early years. The emoji can be used in messages about Peruvian identity, travel and sport. The state version of the flag includes the coat of arms, while the emoji shows the simpler civil flag.
The emoji is formed from the two-letter country code PE. Some systems display the letters PE rather than a flag image.
Bandera de Perú: Spanish names for the flag
In Spanish, the flag is called bandera de Perú or bandera peruana. Both mean “Peru flag” and refer to the same red-and-white design. The plain civil flag is red-white-red without a coat of arms, while the state flag adds the escudo, which features a vicuña, a cinchona tree, and a cornucopia. The flag’s ratio is 2:3. Spanish speakers use these terms alongside the emoji in captions and bios.
