Frequently Asked Questions

Why do other tools leave strange marks behind?

Many emoji are several code points joined together. Removing only the parts a tool recognises leaves the joiners behind. This one matches the whole sequence.

Are symbols like the copyright sign removed?

No. Only characters in the emoji and pictograph blocks are removed, so typographic symbols survive.
