About the Bouvet Island flag emoji
🇧🇻 stands for Bouvet Island in the emoji set; because Bouvet Island flies its parent country’s flag, that flag is what BV shows on most devices. The Bouvet Island flag is built from the regional indicator letters B and V, the two-letter code BV, which fonts join into the single Bouvet Island flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there BV appears as the letters B V. Bouvet Island (BV) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); BV renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy BV from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Bouvet Island with the other Other territories flags, such as Diego Garcia, listed beside Bouvet Island.
