What ๐ง๐ช means
The flag of Belgium: black, yellow and red vertical stripes. It stands for the country of Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp, and for its Dutch-, French- and German-speaking communities.
Football fans post ๐ง๐ช for the Red Devils. Food lovers pair it with ๐ง, ๐ซ, ๐ and ๐บ, the four things Belgium is famous for abroad.
It shares its three colors with ๐ฉ๐ช Germany, but in vertical stripes and a different order, so the two get mixed up at a glance.
