What ๐จ๐บ means
Five blue and white stripes and a red triangle with a white star make up Cuba's flag. It represents the Caribbean island, its people and Cuban culture.
Cubans and Cuban Americans, especially in Miami, use ๐จ๐บ for heritage, salsa, cafecito and baseball. Travel posts from Havana pair it with old cars ๐ and ๐ด.
With blue and red swapped it becomes ๐ต๐ท Puerto Rico, so the two are often confused.
