What ๐ธ๐ช means
Sweden's flag: a yellow Nordic cross on a blue field. It stands for Sweden and Swedish pride.
Swedes post it for Midsummer ๐ธ, National Day and ice hockey. Others use it for Eurovision, ABBA, fika โ and jokes about flat-pack furniture.
The same two colors appear on ๐บ๐ฆ Ukraine's flag, in stripes instead of a cross.
