A new meme is sweeping France, and it requires a certain level of emoji skill.
It all began with a Twitter account, @TweeteoFrance. The incredible account tweets out the weather every six hours in emoji form. Emojis make up a map of France, showing the forecast.

One of its recent tweets, a mid-afternoon forecast, was picked up and adapted by Twitter users to express what their country means to them.
From sports to corporations trying to get in on the action, it was all quite amusing.
Which sport sums up France?
