how to filter all the emojis?

[liutianling]

The raw text is : Pour l’amour de dieux me laisser plus jamais sortir avec un roux boutonneux 🙏🏻
and the result is: Pour l’amour de dieux me laisser plus jamais sortir avec un roux boutonneux :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

Whether i need a regex process to get the final result as follow ?
Pour l’amour de dieux me laisser plus jamais sortir avec un roux boutonneux

@liutianling It's been a while but I decided to comment though

Actually you do not have to use the emoji library to filter emojis. You can do it using the following function to filter special unicode symbols:

def remove_emojis(text):
    emoji_pattern = re.compile("["
                               u"\U0001F600-\U0001F64F" 
                               u"\U0001F300-\U0001F5FF" 
                               u"\U0001F680-\U0001F6FF"
                               u"\U0001F1E0-\U0001F1FF"
                               "]+", flags=re.UNICODE)
    return emoji_pattern.sub(r'', text)
