Fleur-de-lis Emoji ⚜️

A stylized lily, three petals gathered at the base, worn on French royal arms, tied to the baptism legend of King Clovis I. Baden-Powell reused an old army-scout badge at Scouting's first camp in 1907, its shape read as a compass needle. New Orleans wears it on its flag and the Saints' helmets; Quebec has claimed it since 1948.
