A red disc set slightly toward the pole on a dark green field: the flag of Bangladesh, a symbol of the country and the Bengali people.
Bangladeshis post ๐ง๐ฉ for cricket, Victory Day on 16 December and Independence Day on 26 March. Diaspora communities in the UK, the Middle East and the US use it for heritage.
It is often confused with ๐ฏ๐ต Japan, which has a red disc on white, and with ๐ต๐ผ Palau, which has a yellow disc on blue.
