Emoji Remover
Remove Unicode emoji from text or replace them with labels. Keeps ordinary text and ASCII emoticons unchanged.
About the Emoji Remover
Clean Unicode emoji from pasted text while keeping ordinary characters and spacing. Joined emoji are handled as whole graphemes rather than counted as separate code points. Replace mode uses a small dictionary of names and a generic :emoji: placeholder for unrecognized emoji. ASCII emoticons such as :-) remain unchanged. Recognition depends on the Unicode support in your browser.
