Meaning of flag: Pitcairn Islands Emoji

A flag that tells a legendary tale of mutiny and new beginnings. This is the banner of the Pitcairn Islands, a remote British Overseas Territory in the Pacific Ocean, famously settled by the mutineers of HMS Bounty and their Tahitian companions. As a Blue Ensign, it features the Union Jack, signifying its connection to the UK.

The coat of arms on the fly side is rich with symbolism: an anchor and a Bible represent the mutineers' journey and their subsequent adoption of Christianity. A wheelbarrow and a sprig of miro, a local plant, symbolize the islanders' self-sufficiency and connection to their land. Use this emoji to discuss the unique history of these tiny islands, their remote location, or the fascinating culture of the Pitcairn Islanders. It’s a symbol of a small community with an extraordinary past.
