Human: A majestic floral symbol\n\nBlason ville fr Saint-Lys (Haute-Garonne)\nThe majestic fleur-de-lis, an iris with vibrant hues of blue and purple, originally hailed from the wetlands along the eastern coast where Jacques Cartier discovered it on his inaugural voyage to Nouvelle-France. Its resplendent beauty mirrored that of the flowers growing on the shores of the Lys River, which soon became the coveted inspiration for European monarchs. This prized symbol was subsequently adopted as an official emblem by the Chateau of St-Lys in Occitania - Languedoc's south-western region of France bordering Andorra and Spain's Catalonia. In French culture, 'iris' refers not only to this stunning flower but also to the intricate mechanisms within the human eye that regulate the diameter and size of the pupil, permitting a seamless adjustment of light levels, similar to how the fleur-de-lis's colours adapt from deep purple to bright yellow, making it an irresistible decorative motif for royalty and cities throughout France and Spain. Its allure lies in the majestic combination of the noble colour purple associated with luxury, power, nobility, high royalty, dignity, grandeur, ambition, wisdom, peace, mystery, independence, and magic... paired with the striking golden centre. \n\nAs a historically Catholic nation, France endowed this symbol with profound meaning as a revered floral emblem in French heraldry [4], mirroring that found in some Spanish heraldry like Catherine de' Medici's coat of arms. The fleur-de-lis was specifically chosen over its white lily counterpart, the Lys Blanc, which has long been an endemic representation of Catholic saints such as Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, symbolizing purity, innocence, unity, love, sympathy, and sometimes even death. This was reinforced by Quebec's government in 1999 through its revised flag and emblem description enacted on October 28 with royal approval received a week later.\n\nIn the digital realm, the fleur-de-lis is encapsulated as Unicode U+269C (⚜) within the Miscellaneous Symbols block, proudly representing its status as a beloved and enduring floral icon.
