About the Burkina Faso flag emoji
The Burkina Faso flag emoji 🇧🇫 shows red over green with a yellow star in the centre. Under the hood, BF is the regional indicator symbols B F; the Burkina Faso flag appears whenever B and F are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there BF appears as the letters B F. Burkina Faso (BF) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); BF renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy BF from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Burkina Faso with the other Africa flags, such as Réunion, listed beside Burkina Faso.
