    Hi, I know there is a well built and supported plugin that does this, but I’d like to avoid installing more plugins if I can. I found a site that indicated to disable Emoji (the javascript/css added to every page in 4.2) all you need to do is add this code to your functions.php

    // REMOVE EMOJI ICONS
remove_action('wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7);
remove_action('wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles');

    All I want to know is, is this a correct and clean way to accomplish this? No other side effects?

    Is this the correct area to be asking this question?

    I asked this in an other thread and the answer give was yes, this works, although the Disable Emojis plugin does this an “more” so it is “better”. Marking as resolved.
