What ๐ฒ๐ฌ means
Madagascar's flag: a white vertical band at the hoist, with red over green on the right. It stands for the island nation off Africa's southeast coast.
Malagasy people use it for national pride and diaspora news. Travelers and nature fans use it for lemurs, baobab trees, rainforests and vanilla, the island's famous crop.
Some people send it as a nod to the animated film "Madagascar" rather than the country.
