    11:02 This means "Confoederatio Helvetica" which is the official name of Switzerland. And yes its in Latin, because if you pick one of the four official languages it would be unfair to the other one's.
    (They are truly the boss of neutrality.
    It also fits with CHees and CHocolate. 😉)
    And yes, this is their Countrycode
    The one from China is: CHN

      @ilikeonions1051 2 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      everything right, but more explained reason is that that Switzerland was once very religious country and would use latin a lot, and since Switzerland doesnt have single official language for every canton, they stay with latin. But close enough i guess Lmao

    Don't be mistaken. It's not that the emoji standard has picked out which countries and subdepartments get flags. It's that the emoji standard is using ISO 3166, and therefore any region under ISO 3166 that has a code, therefore has a flag.
    EZ is the official code for the Eurozone, and therefore has an emoji flag. Just that no emoji font includes it 🇪🇿
