Flag: Malaysia Emoji
What does the Flag: Malaysia emoji mean?
The Patani Malayu National Revolutionary Front, a Southern Thai Malay separatist movement active in the South Thailand insurgency — originally adopted an independence flag featuring a crescent and a 15-point variation of the Federal Star. These elements were intended to signal the southernmost Thai provinces' cultural and religious affinity with Malay, Muslim-majority Malaysia, rather than with Thailand. Under the hood this is a flag sequence, built from 🇲 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter M followed by 🇾 Regional Indicator Symbol Letter Y; where that pairing is unknown, the two letters show instead.
Malaysia's national flag resembles the flag of the United States, but instead of a field of stars on blue, it features a crescent moon and a star. The flag shows fourteen horizontal red-and-white stripes of equal width that alternate. The moon symbolizes Islam, which is the official religion of the state.
