The flag of Tonga is red with a red cross on white in the corner. It means Tonga, a Pacific kingdom of more than 170 islands.
It tags swimming with whales, rugby passion, and royal tradition.
In texting, 🇹🇴 does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and 🇹🇴 is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Tonga Flag emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the tonga flag emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The 🇹🇴 leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
