## Description

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](https://selftawt.com/disable-wpemoji-correctly/).

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.
 * Works out of the box with no configuration and setup.
 * Compatible with the classic editor.
 * Clean and lean code.

## FAQ

### What’s different with this plugin compared to the others?

I encourage (actually, highly recommend) you to browse the source code and see it
for yourself.

TL;DR: Other plugins don’t work correctly.

### What’s the goal?

The goal is to update the code of this plugin until (hopefully) WordPress removes
the emojis feature from its core.
