The flag of the Falkland Islands: a British Blue Ensign with a coat of arms showing a ram and a sailing ship. It stands for the British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic.
Islanders use ๐ซ๐ฐ for local pride. Wildlife travelers post it with ๐ง, since the islands host large penguin colonies.
Argentina claims the islands, which it calls the Malvinas, so the flag can be a sensitive topic in posts involving ๐ฌ๐ง and ๐ฆ๐ท.
