What the St. Barthélemy flag emoji means
Saint Barthélemy, often called St. Barts, is a French overseas collectivity in the Caribbean, known for luxury tourism. The island was Swedish from 1784 to 1878, and the capital Gustavia still has its Swedish name. The Saint Barthélemy festival on August 24 is a local holiday. The official flag is the French tricolour, while the island also has a local flag based on its coat of arms.
About 10,000 people live there. The emoji is rarely used in everyday chat, and mostly appears in yacht, resort and holiday posts.
