What 🇰🇾 means
A blue ensign on a rectangular flag with the coat of arms to the right. Found along the west of the Caribbean sea, the 🇰🇾 Flag: Cayman Islands emoji represents the flag of this independent overseas territory belonging to the UK, the Cayman Islands.
This emoji is shown as 'KY' on some platforms.
The flag itself shows a British Blue Ensign with the islands' arms: three green stars on wavy blue and white, a golden lion, a turtle, and the motto 'He hath founded it upon the seas'. As with every flag emoji, it's built from two regional-indicator letters, so a few platforms display the letter pair instead of the artwork.
