What ๐ง๐ฟ means
The flag of Belize: royal blue with thin red stripes at top and bottom, and a coat of arms in a white disc. It stands for the English-speaking country on Central America's Caribbean coast.
Divers and travelers post ๐ง๐ฟ for the Great Blue Hole, the barrier reef and Mayan ruins. Belizeans use it for September celebrations and island towns like Caye Caulker.
The coat of arms shows two woodcutters and a mahogany tree, a nod to the logging trade that shaped the colony.
