🇨🇩 Flag: Congo - Kinshasa emoji

The flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the largest country in sub-Saharan Africa and the second-largest country in Africa overall. The flag features a sky blue field with a yellow star in the upper left corner and a red diagonal stripe bordered by yellow stripes, representing the country's natural resources and aspirations.

The DRC is known for its vast mineral wealth (including cobalt, diamonds, and copper), dense rainforests of the Congo Basin, diverse wildlife, and complex political history. Despite its natural riches, the country faces significant challenges with governance, infrastructure, and conflict, while being home to over 90 million people and hundreds of ethnic groups.

This emoji is used to represent the DRC in discussions about African politics, mineral resources, rainforest conservation, humanitarian issues, or when showing support for Congolese culture, sports teams, and the resilience of its people.

Could also be called DRC flag, Congo-Kinshasa flag or Democratic Republic of Congo flag emoji.
