Flag of American Samoa, a U.S. territory in the South Pacific.
The 🇦🇸 emoji represents the flag of American Samoa, an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean. The flag features a red field with a white-edged blue triangle on the hoist side containing a bald eagle clutching traditional Samoan symbols—a fly-whisk (fue) and a staff ('ava). This design reflects both American sovereignty and Samoan cultural heritage. Users often employ this emoji to express pride in American Samoan identity, discuss topics related to the territory, celebrate cultural events like Flag Day (April 17), or indicate travel or connections to the region. It may also appear in conversations about U.S. territories, Pacific Islander communities, or international sports where American Samoa participates.
