What does ๐น๐ป Tuvalu Flag mean?
A light blue ensign with the Union Jack in the canton and nine yellow stars on the fly, arranged like a map of the nine islands. Tuvalu is one of the smallest and lowest-lying nations, so the flag features in climate change discussions, and the country earns income from licensing its internet domain ending โ.tvโ.
Technically, ๐น๐ป is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐น ๐ป, which spell the region code TV. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters TV instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐น๐ป Tuvalu Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
