The character ô is used instead of the correct character (o with a horizontal line above) that in Japanese transliterations indicates long vowels.

Brown flag with two white semicircles and a drop-like shape (reminding of a scematic diagram of an electric switch!) 2:3~
Proportions of the flags are given from W. Smith 1980. Interestingly some of the flags there are marked as state flags while this one has no markings.I am not quite sure how to interpret the meaning of missing markings.
