🇹🇴
The 🇹🇴 emoji depicts an emoji flag for Tonga (Spanish for 'Thonga') a tropical Polynesian kingdom in the South Pacific Ocean.
The flag is a red field with a red cross in white canton (upper left corner). The white shows purity, peace, justice, and the red the blood spilled for independence. A Tongan Christian heritage is reflected in the cross, which is a Christian symbol.
The country's identity as the last remaining monarchy in the Pacific and its Christian values come together in the flag, adopted in 1875. People talking about Tonga's culture, history, geography, or political status are claiming this emoji.
