Flag of São Tomé and Príncipe, representing the African island nation.
The 🇸🇹 emoji represents the national flag of São Tomé and Príncipe, a small island country located in the Gulf of Guinea off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa. The flag features three horizontal bands—green on top and bottom, yellow in the middle—and two black five-pointed stars centered on the yellow band, with a red triangle at the hoist side. This emoji is commonly used to express national pride, celebrate national holidays like Independence Day (July 12), discuss travel plans, or reference cultural, political, or sporting events involving São Tomé and Príncipe. It may also appear in educational contexts or when highlighting issues related to the country’s environment, economy, or international relations. As with other national flag emojis, its display may vary slightly across platforms but consistently conveys affiliation with or interest in this Lusophone African nation.
