flag: Mayotte

A flag that beautifully blends French and Indian Ocean heritage. This is the unofficial flag of Mayotte, a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean. While its official flag is the French tricolor, this local banner is often used to symbolize the island's distinct identity. The flag features a white field with the coat of arms of Mayotte.

The coat of arms features a blue shield with a white crescent and two ylang-ylang flowers, supported by two seahorses, symbolizing the island's unique flora and fauna. The motto "Ra Hachiri" (We are vigilant) further emphasizes its spirit. This emoji is perfect for any conversation about Mayotte's unique blend of cultures, its stunning lagoons, or its vibrant traditions. It's a symbol of a beautiful island with a rich history and a strong sense of identity.
