The 🇵🇪 emote or "Flag for Peru" emote represents the national flag of Peru, which features three vertical stripes in red, white, and red. The white stripe is twice the width of each red stripe, and in the center of the white stripe is the coat of arms of Peru, which includes a vicuña (a type of South American camelid), a cinchona tree (the source of quinine), and a cornucopia overflowing with gold coins. The flag was adopted on February 25, 1825, shortly after Peru gained its independence from Spain.
