The Black Flag symbol (⚑) depicts a solid, dark pennant attached to a standard flagpole. Originating from the Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block, it is widely used in typography, digital mapping, and user interfaces to represent a generic marker, waypoint, or warning indicator. While it looks similar to the waving black flag emoji, this static glyph is a distinct text character favored for clean, minimalist design.
