Backstory
Flag emojis are composite emojis made from two Unicode regional indicator symbols. In this case, 🇦 (U+1F1E6 REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER A) and 🇫 (U+1F1EB REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER F) combine to form the flag of Afghanistan. Note: The user requested 1F1E8, but for the Afghan flag, it should be 1F1EB. Assuming the user meant Afghanistan, the correct code points are 1F1E6 1F1EB.
