About the Cape Verde flag emoji
A blue field with white and red stripes and a ring of ten yellow stars — that is the Cape Verde flag as an emoji, 🇨🇻. The Cape Verde flag is built from the regional indicator letters C and V, the two-letter code CV, which fonts join into the single Cape Verde flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there CV appears as the letters C V. Cape Verde (CV) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); CV renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy CV from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Cape Verde with the other Africa flags, such as São Tomé & Príncipe, listed beside Cape Verde.
