What the St. Martin flag emoji means
Saint Martin is the French half of an island shared with Sint Maarten, which is Dutch, since a treaty of 1648. The emoji π²π« stands for the French side only. It is a French overseas collectivity, and the official flag is the tricolour. Hurricane Irma badly damaged the island in 2017, and recovery posts often use the emoji. November 11 is Saint Martin's feast day, which gives the island its name.
About 32,000 people live on the French side. The emoji is moderately used in travel, but many platforms draw it close to the French flag.
