Glad to hear you find it useful 🙂
I really think emojis should be optional and default to disabled in the wordpress settings, not enabled by default. I think it would be difficult to find someone using wordpress for a business site is going to want emoji popping up in their content pages. In the blog… maybe… but i’ve never found myself wishing that I could be a smiley face next to a phone number on a contact page or something like that. Thank you for making this plugin even though I wish it was not necessary.
@ryan Hellyer Thank you for creating this plugin.
I just wasted half my day trying to figure out why arrow images were showing up in my Foundation 6 orbit slideshow.

I am posting in case someone else working with Foundation by Zurb finds it in a similar scenario.
WordPress replaces ◀ and ▶ with images.

Adding this plugin will remove that “feature”.
I added the code to my child theme’s functions.php rather than installing. It works.
If anyone from WordPress core development is reading please add a toggle to general settings so we can disable it.
Frameworks like expect unicode functionality to work and replacing a text character with an image is bad form…. It may also hinder accessibility for screen readers and other tools that visually impaired users rely on.
