What the New Caledonia flag emoji means
The New Caledonia flag emoji is used for travel posts about the lagoon and the capital Noumรฉa, and for Kanak identity. It is based on the Kanak flag, with a yellow sun disc and a flรจche faรฎtiรจre, the carved roof spire of a traditional house. Since 2010 the Kanak flag has flown alongside the French tricolour. The Citizenship Day holiday on 24 September marks the day the French took possession in 1853, a date with a complex meaning for local people. How the emoji looks can vary, so check on your platform.
