What the Curaçao flag emoji means
Curaçao is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the southern Caribbean. The flag has a blue field with a yellow stripe near the bottom and two white stars, and was adopted in 1984. Flag Day is on July 2, and Country Day on October 10 marks the 2010 constitutional change. The emoji is common in travel posts about Willemstad and in references to the blue orange liqueur that takes its name from the island.
About 150,000 people live there, so this emoji is used more than most territory flags, mainly for travel and diving.
