The flag code for the Caribbean Netherlands: Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, three islands that are special municipalities of the Netherlands. There is no shared flag, so the emoji usually shows the Dutch tricolour.
Divers post ๐ง๐ถ for Bonaire's reefs, and hikers for Saba's volcano. Most people pick ๐ณ๐ฑ instead or skip a flag entirely.
Each island has its own flag, none of which is an emoji, so islanders often prefer to name their island in words.
