🇨🇾 Flag: Cyprus emoji

The flag of Cyprus, a Mediterranean island country divided between the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish-controlled north. The flag features a white background with a copper-colored silhouette of the island above two green olive branches. The copper color represents the island's rich copper deposits (Cyprus derives its name from copper), and the olive branches symbolize peace between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Cyprus is known for its ancient history dating back 10,000 years, beautiful beaches, archaeological sites, wine production, halloumi cheese, division since 1974, EU membership (southern part), and strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The island has a complex political situation but rich cultural heritage.

This emoji is used to represent Cyprus in discussions about Mediterranean affairs, EU politics, divided territories, ancient history, tourism, wine production, or when referencing Cypriot culture, archaeological sites, and the ongoing efforts toward reunification.

Could also be called Cyprus flag, Cypriot flag or Mediterranean flag emoji.
