What ๐ฎ๐ณ means
India's flag: saffron, white and green stripes with a navy blue wheel, the Ashoka Chakra, in the center. Indians worldwide send it with pride.
Cricket fans flood comments with ๐ฎ๐ณ during matches. People post it for Independence Day on 15 August, Republic Day on 26 January, Bollywood and festivals, often with ๐งก๐ค๐.
It looks a little like ๐ณ๐ช Niger, which has an orange disc instead of a blue wheel.
