Morocco kept a solid red field for centuries and only added the green star in 1915, under the sultan, to set the flag apart from other plain-red banners nearby. Red ties to the ruling Alaouite dynasty; the star is the Seal of Solomon, its five points a nod to Islam's five pillars, and the design is simple enough to sketch from memory in seconds.
What 🇲🇦 means
A red flag with a green outline of the pentagram or a five-pointed star at the center. The 🇲🇦 Flag: Morocco emoji refers to the Kingdom of Morocco, a North African country found to its northwest. This emoji is shown as 'MA' on some platforms.
The flag itself shows a red field with a green interlaced pentagram — the Seal of Solomon — at its center. 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.
