What ๐ฆ๐ฑ means
The flag of Albania: a black double-headed eagle on a deep red field. It stands for Albania and for Albanians everywhere, including in Kosovo, North Macedonia and a large diaspora.
Albanians use ๐ฆ๐ฑ with strong pride, in football chants, wedding posts and comments that answer "where are my Albanians?" It pairs with ๐ฆ
and the double-eagle hand sign.
The eagle hand gesture made by crossing two hands is a well-known Albanian pride sign, and the flag emoji often travels with it.
