    Is there a modern way to remove the Emojis? I’d like to use a simple UTF8 character but WordPress returns a massive cartoony Emoji and a lot of bloated code. How can I disable WP emojis via Functions or settings?

    You could use a function, but you’d just be doing the exact same thing as the plugins that are available. I’d suggest just using one of the plugins that are available for doing this.

    Regardless, this might not solve your issue. I’ve had experiences where some characters were displayed as emoji, but this was something that the operating system was doing itself (iOS, in particular). So you could disable the WordPress emoji, which would remove the script and graphic, but some operating systems might still display it as an emoji with its own graphic.
