About the Cameroon flag emoji
Flag of Cameroon, green, red and yellow vertical bands with a yellow star on the red. The emoji is 🇨🇲. The characters behind the Cameroon flag are the regional indicators for C and M, spelling CM; two such letters in a row always render as one flag: Cameroon’s. Windows has no flag artwork, so there CM appears as the letters C M. Cameroon (CM) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); CM renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy CM from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Cameroon with the other Africa flags, such as South Africa, listed beside Cameroon.
