Remove WP Emojis — Correctly
by Rey Sanchez on WordPress.org
This is the RIGHT WAY to remove or disable the WordPress emojis feature that was added in v4.2.

Make your header clean, lean, and mean.
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 why I created this plugin.
Simply activate this plugin to completely — and correctly — remove the built-in support for emojis that was added in WordPress v4.2.
Features
- Built using WordPress API and standards.
