What ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต means

The flag of North Korea: blue, red and blue stripes split by thin white lines, with a red star in a white disc. It stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Most online use comes from outside the country: news posts, geography content and satire about its leaders. Few North Koreans have open internet access.

Do not confuse it with ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท South Korea. Mixing up the two flags gives real offense; at one Olympic Games, a North Korean team walked off when the South Korean flag was shown next to its players.
