What ๐ฌ๐ฌ means
The flag of Guernsey: a red St George's cross on white with a gold cross laid on top. It stands for the Channel Island, a British Crown Dependency near the coast of France.
Islanders use ๐ฌ๐ฌ for local pride and the Island Games. Visitors post it with harbor and cliff-path photos and Guernsey cows.
Guernsey is not part of the UK, so locals sometimes prefer ๐ฌ๐ฌ over ๐ฌ๐ง when they say where they are from.
