What ๐ง๐ฌ means
The flag of Bulgaria: white, green and red horizontal stripes. It stands for the Balkan country on the Black Sea and for Bulgarians abroad.
Bulgarians post ๐ง๐ฌ for Liberation Day on 3 March, sports, and Black Sea summer trips. In early March it often travels with red-and-white martenitsa bracelets, a spring tradition.
The same colors in a different order make ๐ญ๐บ Hungary, so the two get mixed up.
