What π¦ means
The tone is usually proud, bold or playfully patriotic. Because the bald eagle is the national bird of the United States, π¦ often appears next to πΊπΈ in posts about the Fourth of July, sports wins or anything called "freedom". Many of these posts are half joking and treat the eagle as an over-the-top symbol of America. It can also mean being sharp-eyed or rising above problems. Fans of the Philadelphia Eagles use it to cheer for their team. In golf, an eagle is a score two strokes under par, so golfers send it after a great hole. Birdwatchers and nature fans also use it to mean the bird itself.
