What ๐ฐ๐ฟ means
Kazakhstan, the vast Central Asian country, flies a sky blue flag with a golden sun, a soaring steppe eagle, and a folk ornament along the pole side.
Kazakhs use ๐ฐ๐ฟ for national pride, sports and Nauryz greetings in spring. Travelers post it from Almaty, Astana and the mountains.
Western jokes still tie the country to the film Borat, a fictional take that has little to do with real life in Kazakhstan.
