What ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต means

Japan's flag, the Hinomaru: a red disc on white, its name meaning "circle of the sun". People send it for Japan and Japanese culture.

Anime and manga fans, Japanese learners and travelers post ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต with ๐Ÿฃ, ๐Ÿ—ป and ๐ŸŒธ. Sports fans use it for the national team and baseball.

Do not confuse it with the rising sun flag with red rays, a different design that is offensive to many in Korea and China. ๐ŸŽŒ also shows Japanese flags.
