The flag code for Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish autonomous cities on the north coast of Africa. The emoji usually shows the Spanish flag, so it looks like ๐ช๐ธ.
Rarely chosen on purpose: mostly by locals who want to tag their city or by flag collectors. Most people from the two cities simply use ๐ช๐ธ.
Morocco claims both cities, so posts about them can touch on a long-running dispute.
