flag: Guam

A flag that's like a window onto a beautiful Pacific island. This is the banner of Guam, a U.S. territory in Micronesia. The flag's deep blue field represents the vast Pacific Ocean, while the red border symbolizes the blood shed by the Chamorro people throughout their history. The centerpiece is the almond-shaped seal, which is designed to look like a traditional Chamorro sling stone.

Inside the seal, you'll find a picturesque scene: a proa (a local sailing canoe) gliding through the bay off the coast of the capital, Hagåtña, with a coconut palm tree in the foreground. It’s a beautiful tribute to the island's landscape and seafaring heritage. Use this emoji when you're talking about the unique Chamorro culture, discussing a trip to this tropical paradise, or sending a greeting from 'where America's day begins'.
