  Naha (ナ), on a blue field. The circular design appears to represent the
  unlimited potential of the city.

  stylized katakana Naha ナハ; diameter of the emblem: 7/10 flag height
  Nozomi Kariyasu, 20 February 2006
The emblem consists of the katakana na ナ forming a circular shape
with a vertical line and the katakana ha ハ forming two halves of a
circle inside the larger one. As noted above, according to the website
(not the notice from 1921) the circular stylised characters express
infinite growth/development of Naha City (那覇市
Naha-shi).
