Mayotte flag representing the French overseas department in the Indian Ocean.
The 🇾🇹 emoji represents the flag of Mayotte, an overseas department and region of France located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the African mainland. It consists of vertical blue, white, and red stripes—the same design as the French national flag—reflecting Mayotte’s political integration with France since it became an official department in 2011. This emoji is commonly used to express regional identity, discuss travel or geography, support local events, or indicate connections to Mayotte. While not as frequently used as flags of sovereign nations, it appears in contexts involving French territories, cultural discussions, international forums, or social media posts highlighting Mayotte’s unique blend of French administration and Comorian cultural heritage.
