What ๐ฆ๐ท means
Argentina's flag: light blue, white and light blue stripes with a golden Sun of May. Argentines worldwide send it for their country and their team.
Football drives most of its use: fans flood comments with ๐ฆ๐ท for the national team and Lionel Messi, plus โฝ and ๐๐ค. Tango, mate, asado and travel to Buenos Aires or Patagonia bring it out too.
Its colors and sun look close to ๐บ๐พ Uruguay, a friendly rival that also claims tango and mate.
