🇭🇲
🇭🇲 emoji is the flag for Heard Island and McDonald Islands.
The flag has the Union Jack in the top left corner as a nod to the islands' British heritage, and a single star under it to represent the Australian state of Tasmania, to which the islands are administratively attached.
The islands have a maritime history and the background is blue.
Australia's sovereignty over the islands was formally established in 1996, and the flag was adopted on that occasion. This emoji is used to talk about wildlife, climate or environmental research that is relevant to the islands.
