🇭🇹 flag: Haiti Emoji — Meaning, Copy & Paste

What Does the flag: Haiti Emoji 🇭🇹 Mean?

Blue tops red in two horizontal layers, with the national coat of arms on a white square in the center. The coat of arms shows a palmiste (royal palm tree) topped by a liberty cap, surrounded by cannons, flags, and the motto 'L'Union Fait La Force' (Unity is Strength). Blue represents the African heritage of Haitians, red the mixed heritage, with the design legendarily created by Jean-Jacques Dessalines tearing the white from the French tricolor at the 1803 Congress of Arcahaie.

Haiti became the world's first Black-led republic in 1804. The emoji shows up during Independence Day (January 1), Flag Day (May 18), Carnival in Jacmel, and Kompa-music posts. Travelers tag it with Citadelle Laferrière (a UNESCO fortress) and Labadee shots.

Coded in Unicode 6.0 from HT, it pairs with music, drum, and palm-tree emojis. The Haitian diaspora across the US, Canada, France, and the Dominican Republic uses it widely.
