What ๐ฑ๐ป means
The flag of Latvia: a deep carmine red field split by a narrow white stripe across the middle. It represents the country, its people and Latvian heritage.
Common in ice hockey chats, Song and Dance Festival posts, Midsummer (Jฤลi) greetings, and travel photos from Riga. Latvians abroad add it to bios to show where they come from.
People confuse it with ๐ฆ๐น. Austria's red is brighter and its white stripe is as wide as the red ones.
