What the American Samoa flag emoji means
The American Samoa flag emoji shows a white-and-blue field with a red-edged triangle holding a bald eagle with a war club and fly whisk.

Flag Day on 17 April marks the day in 1900 when the US took control of the islands and raised its flag, and the day in 1960 when the territorial flag was adopted.
