First, the hex strings are unicode code points.  In this case, U+1f1e7.

Searching for that string shows several hits and enough quotation to
explain that character.  Even searching w/o the U+ prefix works.

http://unicode-search.net/ is useful for searching for characters by
code point.  Or by name.

If you have miscfiles installed, /usr/share/misc/unicode.gz you can
grep(1) through that file for code points or names (spell them with
majuscules rather than miniscules), although it is too old for chars
like U+1F1E7 REGIONAL INDICATOR SYMBOL LETTER B.
