## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, simple lookup of the flag emoji for a specific country given its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code. Ideal for enriching UI displays, travel apps, localization features, or any agent workflow that needs to decorate country names with their corresponding flag emoji.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty result
- Malformed request body (missing 'country' field) returns a validation error
- Non-alpha-2 country codes (e.g., 3-letter codes) may not be recognized
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents endpoint access

## How this service works

Build the flag emoji for an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code from its regional-indicator symbols (e.g. "US" → 🇺🇸). Non two-letter codes are clean 400s.

## Output

A flag emoji character corresponding to the provided ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (e.g., 🇺🇸 for 'US', 🇫🇷 for 'FR').
