What is the VFR squawk code for flying below 12,500 feet?

The VFR squawk code for flying below 12,500 feet is 1200. This code is used by pilots operating under visual flight rules (VFR) to indicate that they are not in instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions. When a pilot is flying below 12,500 feet, squawking 1200 helps Air Traffic Control (ATC) identify VFR traffic in the airspace. This code allows ATC to monitor and manage aircraft effectively while ensuring that VFR pilots can maintain visual separation from other aircraft and receive assistance if needed.

The other codes listed serve different purposes: 7500 is for hijacking, 7700 is utilized for emergencies, and 1400 is not a designated VFR code appropriate for the specified altitude range.
