What ๐ฑ๐บ means
Stands for Luxembourg, the small grand duchy between Belgium, France and Germany. The flag has three horizontal stripes: red, white and light blue.
Luxembourgers use it for national pride and National Day, and expats use it to say they live or work there. It shows up in posts about EU institutions, banking jobs, and short trips through the old town of Luxembourg City.
Easy to mistake for ๐ณ๐ฑ. Luxembourg's blue is lighter, and its flag is a little longer.
