🇱🇦 Flag: Laos emoji

The flag of Laos, a landlocked Southeast Asian country along the Mekong River. The flag features three horizontal stripes: red on top and bottom representing the blood shed for freedom, blue in the middle representing the Mekong River and wealth, with a white circle in the center representing the full moon over the Mekong and the unity of the people under communist leadership.

Laos is known for its Buddhist temples and monasteries, French colonial heritage, traditional culture largely preserved due to limited tourism, landlocked geography dependent on neighbors for trade, beautiful Mekong River landscapes, unexploded ordnance legacy from the Vietnam War, and efforts to balance development with cultural preservation.

This emoji is used to represent Laos in discussions about Southeast Asian affairs, Buddhist culture, Mekong River, or when referencing traditional temples, French colonial influence, landlocked challenges, cultural preservation, and Laos's unique position as a traditional Buddhist society navigating modern development.

Could also be called Lao flag, Laos country flag or Lao PDR flag emoji.
