About Emoji Remover
A single visible emoji is often several code points bolted together. A family is three people joined by two zero-width joiners; a flag is two regional indicator letters; a skin tone is a modifier attached to a base character. That is why the "remove emoji" regex people copy from forums leaves fragments behind — it deletes code points one at a time and strands the pieces. This works on grapheme clusters, so what looks like one emoji is removed as one thing.
How to use it

Questions
Why do other tools leave stray characters behind?
They match individual code points. Remove the middle of a joined sequence and the joiners stay, orphaning the remaining people — a family emoji becomes two figures and a gap. Grapheme segmentation treats the whole cluster as the unit a person would call a character.
What counts as an emoji here?
Anything Unicode marks as Extended_Pictographic, plus regional indicators for flags. The optional symbols setting extends it to arrows, box drawing, math operators and dingbats — characters that are pictographic but not really emoji, and which you often want to keep.
Why would I replace them with a placeholder?
To see where they were. Useful when you are cleaning text for a system that cannot store them and need to know which content lost something, rather than silently shipping a sentence with a hole in it.
