The flag of Macedonia, represented by the emoji 🇲🇰, features a red field with a golden sunburst in the upper hoist-side corner. The sunburst consists of eight rays extending from a central disc, symbolizing the "Star of Vergina," an ancient Macedonian symbol associated with the dynasty of Alexander the Great. The red color represents bravery and strength, while the golden sunburst represents the dawn of a new era for the Macedonian people.
