What ๐ฐ๐ช means
Kenya's flag: black, red and green stripes edged in white, with a red Maasai shield and two spears. Kenyans send it wherever they want the country represented.
Running fans post ๐ฐ๐ช for Kenyan marathon and distance champions with ๐. Safari travelers use it with ๐ฆ, and Kenyans add it for Swahili, Nairobi life and national days.
Kenyans on Twitter, known as KOT, are famous for spirited group replies, so a flood of ๐ฐ๐ช under a post can signal their arrival.
