New Zealand's flag: a blue field with the Union Jack in the corner and four red stars edged in white, the Southern Cross. It stands for New Zealand and Kiwi pride.
Rugby fans post it for the All Blacks ๐, and travelers use it for road trips, Queenstown and film-location tours. Kiwis often pair it with ๐ฅ as a pun, though the kiwi is also a native bird.
Easily confused with ๐ฆ๐บ Australia. Australia's stars are white and it has an extra large star below the Union Jack.
