What does ๐จ๐ป Cape Verde Flag mean?
A blue field with three horizontal stripes of white, red and white below the centre and a circle of ten yellow stars, one for each main island. Cape Verdeans use it on Independence Day, 5 July, for the Blue Sharks football team, and to share morna music made famous by Cesรกria รvora, Creole culture and beach trips to Sal and Boa Vista.
Technically, ๐จ๐ป is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐จ ๐ป, which spell the region code CV. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CV instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐จ๐ป Cape Verde Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
