What the Åland Islands flag emoji means
Åland is an autonomous, Swedish-speaking region of Finland in the Baltic Sea. The flag, adopted in 1954, has a red cross edged in yellow on a blue field. Åland Day on June 9 marks its autonomy, and midsummer poles are raised in the villages each year. The islands have a long seafaring history and are home to the museum ship Pommern.
About 30,000 people live there, so the emoji is used mostly by islanders, in ferry travel and in Nordic content.
