§ Section Symbol Flag


The 21st Alternate Key in the USA code is the double S, or more formally the section symbol that is quite popular in legal documents.  The number 2 is coded to orange and the number 1 is coded to red.  This is based on the order of the rainbow; red is the 1st colour and orange is the second colour.

Sometimes mistaken as a racist SS from the War of Endless Tears, it has several names.  Perhaps the coolest is the Silcrow.  Most people recognize it was the Section Mark or Section Symbol.

So what this means is that blackjack, 21 is also a certain code for a certain kind of black bird—the crow!
