Frequently asked questions
- Will it remove normal symbols like ยฉ or punctuation?
- By default it removes emoji characters only and keeps ยฉ ยฎ โข. There is an option to also strip decorative symbols if you need it.
- Does it leave double spaces where emojis were?
- You can pair it with the remove extra spaces option to tidy any gaps left behind.
- Does it remove flag emojis and skin-tone modifiers?
- Yes. Flags, skin-tone modifiers and the zero-width joiners used to combine emoji sequences are all removed along with the base emoji.
- What about an emoji placed between two words, like a heart between two letters?
- The emoji character is removed and the surrounding letters are kept as they were, with no extra space inserted.
- Does removing emojis ever change the meaning of a sentence?
- No. Only the emoji characters are deleted โ the surrounding words and punctuation are left exactly as you wrote them.
- Does it remove arrows or other symbols that aren't quite emoji?
- No, not by default. Only characters in the emoji/pictograph range are removed. Plain symbols like arrows or math signs are left untouched unless you enable the option to also strip decorative symbols.
- Does it leave a blank line if a whole line was just an emoji?
- Yes. The emoji character is deleted, so a line that only contained emoji becomes an empty line rather than being removed automatically.
