What ๐ฒ๐ฒ means
Myanmar's flag: yellow, green and red horizontal bands with a large white star across them. It stands for the country also called Burma and for its many peoples.
Burmese communities use it for pride, news from home and Thingyan, the New Year water festival ๐ฆ. Travelers tag Bagan's temples, Yangon and Inle Lake with it.
Both names, Myanmar and Burma, stay in everyday use, and people pick one or the other for personal or political reasons.
