What the Colors Mean
Flag History
Adopted on 1 January 1981, the day Palau's constitution took effect and the islands became self-governing within the US-administered Trust Territory. The winning entry in a national design competition came from John Blau Skebong, who set a plain golden disc on ocean blue. The flag flew unchanged through full independence in 1994.
✨ Did you know?
The golden disc is a full moon, not a sun — Palauans time fishing, planting and celebrations by it — and it sits slightly off-centre toward the hoist, like the disc on Bangladesh's flag.
Unicode sequence for 🇵🇼
The Palau flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code PW. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter P
- 🇵 · U+1F1F5
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter W
- 🇼 · U+1F1FC
Full sequence: U+1F1F5 U+1F1FC. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
