flag: Indonesia
This emoji represents the national flag of Indonesia, a large island nation in Southeast Asia. It is made of red and white.
You can use it when talking about Bali, a famous resort in Indonesia, or the traditional dish Nasi Goreng. The red color means courage, and the white color means purity.
This flag is very similar to the flag of Monaco (🇲🇨), so it can be confusing. However, the Indonesian flag is slightly longer horizontally. This design originated from the flag of the 13th-century Majapahit Empire.
In Indonesia, this flag is called 'Sang Saka Merah Putih' (The Sacred Red and White) and is considered sacred. On Independence Day, flag-raising ceremonies are held across the country to express national pride, which is an important ritual to remember the long history of the struggle for independence from the Netherlands.
