Dominica is the only country whose flag uses the color purple, worked into a red disc at the center as the plumage of the Sisserou parrot. That parrot lives nowhere on Earth outside Dominica's rainforest and is the island's national bird, ringed here by ten green stars for its ten parishes. A cross of yellow, black, and white crosses the green field behind it.
What 🇩🇲 means
A green flag with a tri-colored horizontal stripe of yellow, black and white, at the center, intersected by a vertical stripe of the same.
At the junction of both stripes is a wide red disc lined by ten five-pointed green stars at the border, bracketing a left-facing purple sisserou parrot.
The 🇩🇲 Flag: Dominica emoji represents the island nation of the Caribbean formally known as the Commonwealth of Dominica and 'Dominica' colloquially. This emoji is shown as 'DM' on some platforms.
