What Does the flag: Dominica Emoji 🇩🇲 Mean?

A green field carries a yellow-black-white cross centered with a red disc bearing a Sisserou parrot (the national bird) encircled by ten green five-pointed stars. Green represents the lush forests of the Nature Isle, the cross arms signal the Trinity and Christian faith, the cross colors honor the island's Kalinago (yellow), African (black), and European (white) heritage, the red disc represents social justice, and the ten stars stand for the parishes. Adopted at independence in 1978 with revisions in 1981, 1988, and 1990.

The emoji shows up during Independence Day (November 3), World Creole Music Festival, and rainforest-tourism posts. Travelers tag it with Boiling Lake hike shots and Champagne Reef snorkeling. Coded in Unicode 6.0 from DM, it pairs with parrot, mountain, and waterfall emojis.

The Sisserou parrot is the only national bird on a national flag. The Sisserou parrot (Amazona imperialis), depicted on the red disc, is critically endangered, with only a few hundred remaining. Conservation posts about the species naturally feature the flag and bring international attention to the Nature Isle.
