Erfalasorput, meaning our flag, is the only Nordic-associated flag that skips the Nordic cross entirely. Designer Thue Christiansen's 1985 design beat out a cross pattern in a public vote, going instead with a white and red field split by an off-center disc, its colors reversed from the background, usually read as the sun over ice. Greenlanders wear it with real, visible pride.
What đŦđą means
A horizontally dual-colored flag with white on top and red below, characterized by an inversely designed disc to the left, with red on top and white in the bottom.
The đŦđą Flag: Greenland emoji refers to the independent territory in Denmark, Greenland; well known for being the largest island on the planet. This emoji is shown as 'GL' on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
