What the Mayotte flag emoji means
Mayotte is an island in the Comoros archipelago and has been a French overseas department since March 31, 2011. Its official flag is the French tricolour, and there is also an unofficial local flag with two seahorses, so the artwork you see for the emoji depends on the platform. People use it when writing about the island's lagoon, sea turtles and French overseas life.
About 300,000 people live there, but the emoji is rarely used in everyday messages.
