What ๐ฌ๐ต means
The flag code for Guadeloupe, a French overseas region in the Caribbean shaped like a butterfly. The official flag is the French tricolour, and local flags with a sun and sugar cane also exist.
Guadeloupeans use ๐ฌ๐ต for Creole culture, zouk and gwoka music, and carnival. Visitors post it from beaches and the rainforest of Basse-Terre.
On some devices it looks just like ๐ซ๐ท, so people may add a word like "Gwada", the local nickname, to make the meaning clear.
