Flag: Japan

The flag of Japan emoji displays a single red dot centered in the middle of a white rectangular banner. The red dot represents the Circle of the Sun and became official in 1999. Japanese traditionally believe the Emporor is directly related to the Sun Goddess which is why the red circle is shaped like the sun.
