What does ๐จ๐บ Cuba Flag mean?
Five horizontal stripes of blue and white with a red triangle at the hoist holding a white star, la estrella solitaria. Cubans on the island and in the large diaspora, from Miami to Madrid, use it to show heritage and pride, while travellers pair it with Havanaโs classic cars, salsa and son music, cigars and Caribbean beaches.
Technically, ๐จ๐บ is not a single character: it is the pair of regional indicator letters ๐จ ๐บ, which spell the region code CU. Apps that support flags combine the two letters into a flag; Windows does not draw country flags, so on Windows you see the letters CU instead โ the emoji still arrives as a flag on the recipientโs phone.
๐จ๐บ Cuba Flag is an emoji from the Flags category (country flags), added in Emoji 2.0 in 2015.
