What the Cook Islands flag emoji means
The Cook Islands are a self-governing Pacific nation in free association with New Zealand. The flag is a blue ensign with the Union Jack in the canton and a ring of 15 white stars, one for each island. Constitution Day on August 4 marks self-government in 1965, and the Te Maeva Nui celebrations around it are the main time people post the emoji. It also appears in rugby league and travel content around Rarotonga and Aitutaki.
Around 15,000 people live on the islands, so the emoji sees modest use, mostly in travel and Pacific community posts.
