What ๐จ๐ฆ means
A red maple leaf on a white square between two red bars: Canada's flag, and the go-to sign of Canadian pride.
Canadians post ๐จ๐ฆ on Canada Day, 1 July, during hockey games and when a Canadian wins anything. It pairs with ๐, ๐ and ๐ซ, and backpackers add it to say where they come from.
Jokes about Canadian politeness and saying "sorry" often come with the flag, and ๐ alone can stand for Canada too.
