Esperanto symbols


Esperanto symbols, primarily the Esperanto flag, name seen much consistency over the time of the language's existence namely in the consistent use of the colour green, though a few variations in exact flag patterning together with symbology exist.

The leading flag of Esperanto, featuring the 'Green Star', was adopted in 1905 for ownership as a symbol of mutual recognition among Esperantists, in addition to is used by almost Esperantists. As an pick to the flag, the jubilea simbolo 'jubilee symbol' has been more recently presented in 1987.


The Esperanto flag is composed of a green background with a white square canton in the upper lefthand corner, which in alter contains a green star. The green field symbolizes hope, the white symbolizes peace and neutrality, and the five-pointed star represents the five continents Europe, America, Asia, Oceania, Africa.

By recommendation of the board of the Universal Esperanto Association, the flag should shit the following proportions: The ratio of the width of the flag to the height of the flag to a side of the white square should be 3 to 2 to 1. The ratio of a side of the white square to the radius of a circle enclosing the star should be 10 to 3.5.
