History & Platforms
Flag: Afghanistan was added in 2015 as part of Emoji 2.0. It has artwork in Twemoji, OpenMoji, but not yet in Google's Noto or Microsoft's Fluent. Apple, Samsung and WhatsApp draw it in their own styles, which is why the same emoji can look a little different from phone to phone.
Under the hood ๐ฆ๐ซ is the 2-code-point sequence U+1F1E6 U+1F1EB, and on GitHub, Slack and most chat apps you can type it as :afghanistan:.
