AUflag

What ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ means

Australia's flag puts the Union Jack in the corner, a large seven-pointed star below it, and the stars of the Southern Cross on blue. Aussies send it as a badge of home and pride.

Expect it in cricket and rugby banter, travel posts with ๐Ÿฆ˜ and ๐Ÿจ, and backpackers announcing a working holiday. Aussies add it to say where they are from in global comment threads.

It looks very like ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ New Zealand, whose stars are red. Australia Day on 26 January is also marked by many Indigenous Australians as a day of mourning.
