Türkiye is the name the country asked the UN to use starting in 2022, and its flag is centuries older than that request: a white star and crescent on red, symbols with roots in the region going back to Byzantium. You'll see it on Turkish coffee posts, a football match, or an Istanbul trip.
What 🇹🇷 means
A red rectangular flag with a big white crescent moon and a five-pointed star at the center. The 🇹🇷 Flag: Turkey emoji represents the Republic of Turkey, an intercontinental country spanning southeast Asia and western Europe.
The flag itself shows a white crescent and star on red — the ay-yıldız, one of the world's most iconic flag emblems. 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.
