What ๐ซ๐ด means
The flag of the Faroe Islands: a red Nordic cross edged in blue on white. It stands for the self-governing North Atlantic islands within the Danish realm.
Travelers post ๐ซ๐ด with photos of steep green cliffs, grass-roofed houses, sheep ๐ and puffins. Faroese people use it for their football team and Faroese language pride.
It uses the same colors as ๐ณ๐ด Norway and ๐ฎ๐ธ Iceland in a different arrangement, so the three get mixed up.
