What ๐ง๐ญ means
Bahrain's flag: a white band with five sharp points cutting into red. The island kingdom sits in the Persian Gulf, linked to Saudi Arabia by a long causeway.
Bahrainis use ๐ง๐ญ on National Day and for football. Formula 1 fans post it for the Bahrain Grand Prix, often with ๐๏ธ and ๐.
It is easy to confuse with ๐ถ๐ฆ Qatar, which has a darker maroon color and nine points instead of five.
