What ๐ซ๐ฒ means
Four white stars on light blue: the Federated States of Micronesia, a Pacific nation made of four states, Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei and Kosrae, one star for each.
Micronesians use ๐ซ๐ฒ at home and in Guam, Hawaii and the US mainland for heritage and island pride. Divers post it from the shipwrecks of Chuuk Lagoon.
Micronesia is also the name of a wider region of the Pacific, but this flag stands for the one country.
