What ๐ฌ๐ฎ means
The flag of Gibraltar: white over red, with a red castle and a gold key. It stands for the British Overseas Territory on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula.
Visitors post ๐ฌ๐ฎ with photos of the Rock and its Barbary macaques, often with ๐. Gibraltarians use it for National Day and local pride.
Spain also claims Gibraltar, so the flag can come up in political posts between ๐ฌ๐ง and ๐ช๐ธ.
