The White Flag symbol (⚐) represents a traditional flag flying on a pole, rendered as a simple, unfilled outline. Originally included in the Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols block for typography and mapmaking, it traditionally denotes points of interest, military units, or golf holes. While it historically signifies surrender or a truce, modern digital communication typically replaces this textual glyph with its colorful emoji counterpart.
