The Swiss flag consists of a white, equilateral cross centered on a red square background-a unique design among national flags for its square shape. Adopted officially in 1889, it represents Swiss neutrality, sovereignty, and unity, with roots tracing back to the 14th-century banners of Swiss Confederates. Its striking simplicity and high contrast make it instantly identifiable worldwide.
