TikTok & Instagram

Basically, it’s just a way to show you’re thinking about Papua New Guinea. People use it like a little flag to represent the country in a conversation. In comments and captions it is read the same way — the tone comes from what it sits next to.

WhatsApp draws 🇵🇬 with Apple-style artwork on every phone, so it looks identical for both sides. A message with only 🇵🇬 in it is shown enlarged.

Discord & Slack

Both accept the shortcode :flag-pg:. Discord renders Twemoji, so 🇵🇬 looks different there than on your phone.
