What ๐ฒ๐ฉ means
Moldova's flag: vertical blue, yellow and red bands with the national coat of arms, an eagle holding a cross, in the center. It means Moldova or Moldovan roots.
Moldovans use it for national pride, wine country posts, and family chats across the diaspora. Eurovision fans post it when Moldova competes, and many still link the country with the viral saxophone riff of the "Epic Sax Guy" performance.
Without the eagle it would look like ๐ท๐ด Romania. The two countries share language and much history.
