About the Cuba flag emoji
The Cuba flag emoji ๐จ๐บ shows five blue and white stripes with a red triangle and white star at the hoist. Under the hood, CU is the regional indicator symbols C U; the Cuba flag appears whenever C and U are displayed together. Windows has no flag artwork, so there CU appears as the letters C U. Cuba (CU) joined the flag set in Emoji 1.0 (2015); CU renders on every major platform except Windows. Copy CU from the card; the flag emoji hub groups Cuba with the other Caribbean flags, such as Martinique, listed beside Cuba.
