What 🇬🇪 means
Yes: the country, never the U.S. state. The five-cross flag, one big red cross plus four small ones on white, marks travel, diaspora chat, culture, or sports cheers. For the American state, spell it out in words.
Neutral for location; proud and celebratory for heritage, culture, or sport.
Never means Atlanta or the U.S. state.
