🇹🇻
🇹🇻 emoji stands for the flag of the Tuvalu, which is a little island in the Pacific Ocean.
Tuvalu's flag has a light blue field and includes the Union Jack in the upper left corner, showing Tuvalu's historical links to the United Kingdom.
To the right of the Union Jack, there are five stars arranged in a pattern, representing the nine islands of Tuvalu, with each star symbolizing one of the islands: The islands Funafuti, the capital plus other islands.
The islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean causing the light blue background.
The flag features something of Tuvalu's British heritage and of its Pacific identity; it was adopted in 1978. Discussion of Tuvalu's culture, geography or political status uses this emoji.
