What ๐ฆ๐น means
The flag of Austria: red, white and red horizontal stripes. It stands for the Alpine country, home to Vienna, Salzburg and a long tradition of classical music.
Skiers, Christmas-market visitors and Vienna travelers post ๐ฆ๐น, often with ๐๏ธ or โท๏ธ. Austrians use it for football, ski racing and Eurovision.
People mix up Austria and Australia often enough that "no kangaroos in Austria" is a running joke, and ๐ฑ๐ป Latvia has a similar red-white-red flag in a darker shade.
