What ๐ฎ๐ท means
The flag of Iran: green, white and red stripes with a red emblem in the center and stylized script along the edges of the stripes. It stands for the country of Iran.
Iranians post ๐ฎ๐ท for football, Nowruz greetings and Persian food, poetry and music. Travelers use it for Isfahan and Shiraz.
Many Iranians abroad prefer the older lion-and-sun flag, which has no emoji, so they may avoid ๐ฎ๐ท entirely.
