flag: Türkiye 🇹🇷 - OzVoca Emoji Details
flag: Türkiye
This is the flag emoji for Türkiye, a country connecting Europe and Asia. It has a white crescent and star on a red background.
Called "Ay Yıldız" (Moon Star), it's a symbol of the Turkish people. The red color represents those who sacrificed for the country, while the crescent and star signify hope.
The crescent and star are ancient symbols used by Turkic peoples even before the Ottoman Empire. The current design is very similar to the last flag of the Ottoman Empire from 1844.
In Korea, this emoji is extra special as Türkiye is known as a "brother nation." It's often used to express pride on national holidays or during international sports events, and thanks to the bond from the Korean War, it adds a layer of friendship and history for people of both countries.
