What does ๐น๐ด Tonga Flag mean?
A red field with a white canton bearing a red cross, reflecting the kingdomโs Christian faith; Tongaโs constitution says the flag must never be changed. Tongans proudly wave it for rugby, especially the Ikale Tahi and the Mate Maโa Tonga rugby league side, and it went viral thanks to a shirtless, oiled-up flag bearer at the Olympics.
Technically, ๐น๐ด is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐น ๐ด, which spell the region code TO. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters TO instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐น๐ด Tonga Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
