Puerto Ricans wave this one hard, at parades, on car flags, stitched onto everything from sneakers to nails. Red and white stripes and a blue triangle with a single star were first raised by exiles in New York in 1895, deliberately built off Cuba's flag with the colors swapped, and it only became the island's official flag once Puerto Rico became a commonwealth in 1952.
What 🇵🇷 means
A horizontal design of alternative crimson-red and white stripes, overlapped by a medium-sized navy blue triangle with a visible five-pointed white star. The base of the triangle clings to the left border.
The 🇵🇷 Flag: Puerto Rico emoji represents the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, a US incorporated territory found northeast of the Caribbean Sea. This emoji is shown as 'PR' on platforms that don't support flag emojis.
