Frequently Asked Questions
What does 🇦🇫 mean in a text message?▼
Flag of Afghanistan, the mountainous Central Asian nation at the crossroads of ancient trade routes. Use for Afghanistan. The tone can shift depending on context — a message to a friend reads differently than one to a coworker.
Why are flag emoji made of two letters?▼
Flag emoji use a system called Regional Indicator Symbols. Each flag is actually two invisible Unicode characters — the country's ISO 3166-1 two-letter code — which platforms combine into a flag image. This is why flags work differently from other emoji.
Does 🇦🇫 display on all devices?▼
Most country flags display correctly on iOS, Android, and macOS. Windows has historically shown flag emoji as two-letter country codes (like "US") instead of flag images, though this is improving. Some subdivision flags (like states or provinces) have very limited support.
What is the shortcode for 🇦🇫?▼
On platforms like Slack and Discord, you can type `:flag-af:` to insert the Afghanistan Flag emoji. On GitHub, the same shortcodes work in issues and comments.
