If I type the following into ghci, I get the state flag of Texas:
putStrLn "\x1f3f4\xe0075\xe0073\xe0074\xe0078\xe007f"
The first character is a flag, the last character is a terminator, and in between are the tag characters corresponding to the ASCII for ustx. Just take those characters and subtract 0xe0000 from them, 0x75, 0x73, 0x74, 0x78.

Edit:
Just for fun:
import Data.StateCodes
import Data.Char
putStrLn $ map (map toLower . show . snd) allStates >>=
\stateCode -> '\x1f3f4':map (toEnum . (0xe0000+) . fromEnum) ("us" ++ stateCode) ++ "\xe007f"
Yeah I understand how it works but none of the major vendors have actually implemented the emoji.
