How the Afghanistan flag emoji works

🇦🇫 is not a single character. It is two regional indicator letters, 🇦 (U+1F1E6) and 🇫 (U+1F1EB), which spell AF, the two-letter code for Afghanistan. Phones and computers that support flag emojis draw the pair as the flag.

Why do I see "AF" instead of the flag?

Windows does not draw country flag emojis. In Chrome, Edge and most Windows apps, 🇦🇫 shows up as the letters AF. The emoji is still correct: paste it into a message and anyone reading on an iPhone, Android phone or Mac sees the flag, like the image at the top of this page.
