What ๐ง๐ณ means
Brunei, a small sultanate on the island of Borneo, flies a yellow flag crossed by white and black diagonal stripes, with a red crest in the middle.
Bruneians post ๐ง๐ณ for National Day and the Sultan's birthday celebrations. Travelers use it with photos of the golden-domed mosques in Bandar Seri Begawan.
Yellow is the color of the sultan, which is why it covers most of the flag.
