What ๐ต๐ณ means
The Pitcairn Islands flag: a blue ensign with the Union Jack and a coat of arms showing an anchor, a Bible and a wheelbarrow. It stands for the remote British territory in the South Pacific.
Mostly used in posts about the mutiny on the Bounty, whose crew settled there, and in geography trivia. The tiny population and stamp collectors use it too.
