Emoji support is now so widespread that this feature should no longer belong to the WordPress core — and certainly not on every page of every WordPress site.
But I noticed that other plugins don’t completely work, so that’s <a href="https://selftawt.com/disable-wpemoji-correctly/" rel="nofollow ugc">why I created this plugin</a>.
Simply activate this plugin to completely — and correctly — remove the built-in support for emojis that was added in WordPress v4.2.
