I have composed list based on Joe's and Doctor.Who's answers:
U+00A9, U+00AE, U+203C, U+2049, U+20E3, U+2122, U+2139, U+2194-2199, U+21A9-21AA, U+231A, U+231B, U+2328, U+23CF, U+23E9-23F3, U+23F8-23FA, U+24C2, U+25AA, U+25AB, U+25B6, U+25C0, U+25FB-25FE, U+2600-27EF, U+2934, U+2935, U+2B00-2BFF, U+3030, U+303D, U+3297, U+3299, U+1F000-1F02F, U+1F0A0-1F0FF, U+1F100-1F64F, U+1F680-1F6FF, U+1F910-1F96B, U+1F980-1F9E0
The Unicode standard's Unicode® Technical Report #51 includes a list of emoji (emoji-data.txt):
...
21A9 ; text ; L1 ; none ; j # V1.1 (↩) LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK
21AA ; text ; L1 ; none ; j # V1.1 (↪) RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK
231A ; emoji ; L1 ; none ; j # V1.1 (⌚) WATCH
231B ; emoji ; L1 ; none ; j # V1.1 (⌛) HOURGLASS
...
I believe you would want to remove each character listed in this document which had a Default_Emoji_Style
of emoji
.
There is no way, other than reference to a definition list like this, to identify the emoji characters in Unicode. As the reference to the FAQ says, they are spread throughout different blocks.
