🇰🇲 flag: Comoros Emoji — Meaning, Copy & Paste

What Does the flag: Comoros Emoji 🇰🇲 Mean?

Yellow, white, red, and blue layer horizontally in this banner, with a green triangle on the hoist containing a white crescent and four white stars. The four bands and four stars each represent one of the four main Comorian islands — Mwali (Mohéli), Ndzuwani (Anjouan), Mahoré (Mayotte, which remains French), and Ngazidja (Grande Comore). The green triangle and crescent honor Islam, the religion of the Comorian people.

Adopted on December 23, 2001, with the modern version reflecting the unification of the federal state. The emoji shows up during Independence Day (July 6), Indian Ocean Island Games coverage, and ylang-ylang and clove-export posts (Comoros is a leading perfume-ingredient producer). Travelers tag it with Karthala volcano hikes and Anjouan beach shots.

Coded in Unicode 6.0 from KM, it pairs with volcano, perfume, and spice emojis. The Comorian diaspora in France uses it widely. The country has experienced over 20 attempted or successful coups since independence in 1975, making it sometimes called 'the coup capital of Africa.' The flag also features in posts about traditional Anjouani weddings and the unique Comorian music style of twarab.
