Meaning of flag: Bermuda Emoji

A flag that tells a dramatic story of shipwreck and resilience. This is the banner of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic. Uniquely, it's a Red Ensign, featuring the Union Jack in the canton, signifying its connection to the UK. The coat of arms on the fly side is particularly distinctive.

The shield depicts a lion holding a shield with a shipwreck, representing the *Sea Venture*, which was wrecked off Bermuda in 1609 and led to the island's settlement. The motto, "Quo Fata Ferunt" (Whither the Fates Carry Us), speaks to the islanders' enduring spirit. This emoji is perfect for any conversation about Bermuda's unique history, its beautiful pink sand beaches, or its vibrant culture. It's a symbol of a small island with a big story.
