About the Congo - Kinshasa flag emoji
🇨🇩 is the flag of Congo - Kinshasa: sky blue with a red diagonal stripe edged in yellow and a yellow star in the upper hoist corner. Like every country flag, the Congo - Kinshasa emoji is really two regional indicator letters, C and D, spelling the ISO code CD; side by side, CD merge into the Congo - Kinshasa flag. Windows has no flag artwork, so there CD appears as the letters C D. Congo - Kinshasa (CD) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); CD renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy CD from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Congo - Kinshasa with the other Africa flags, such as Gambia, listed beside Congo - Kinshasa.
