What the Colors Mean
Flag History
King Amanullah Khan introduced the black-red-green tricolor in 1928 after touring Europe, and most later governments kept it, restyling only the central mosque emblem that first appeared in 1901. Since the 2021 takeover the Taliban have flown a plain white flag bearing the Shahada, but the tricolor is still the flag most of the world — and the emoji — displays.
✨ Did you know?
Afghanistan has changed its national flag roughly twenty times since 1900 — more redesigns over that span than any other country.
Unicode sequence for 🇦🇫
The Afghanistan flag is not one code point. It is a valid emoji flag sequence made from two Regional Indicator Symbols associated with the region code AF. Unicode defines the sequence; each platform chooses how to draw the resulting flag.
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter A
- 🇦 · U+1F1E6
- Regional Indicator Symbol Letter F
- 🇫 · U+1F1EB
Full sequence: U+1F1E6 U+1F1EB. Copy the rendered flag above instead of copying one indicator by itself.
