What 🇵🇷 means on TikTok, WhatsApp and Discord

The character is the same everywhere, but the artwork and the reading of it change from app to app.

TikTok & Instagram
It just means someone is referencing Puerto Rico. They could be proud of their heritage, talking about visiting, or discussing something related to the island. In comments and captions it is read the same way — the tone comes from what it sits next to.
WhatsApp
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-pr:. Discord renders Twemoji, so 🇵🇷 looks different there than on your phone.
