What does 🇸🇹 São Tomé & Príncipe Flag mean?
Green, yellow and green horizontal stripes, the yellow wider and bearing two black stars for the two main islands, with a red triangle at the hoist. The islands in the Gulf of Guinea are known for cocoa plantations, rainforest, the needle-shaped peak of Pico Cão Grande and the relaxed local motto “leve-leve”.
Technically, 🇸🇹 is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters 🇸 🇹, which spell the region code ST. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters ST instead – the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipient’s phone.
🇸🇹 São Tomé & Príncipe Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
