What the Guernsey flag emoji means
Guernsey is a Crown Dependency in the English Channel, and is not part of the United Kingdom. The flag is the red St George's cross on white with a smaller gold cross inside it, adopted in 1985. Liberation Day on May 9 marks the end of German occupation in 1945 and is the main date for posting the emoji. The island is also known for its Guernsey cows and its financial sector.
About 67,000 people live there, so the emoji is used mainly by islanders and in channel islands content.
