How to REALLY disable emoji for symbols





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-2















I would like to use a regular symbol (the up-right-arrow) in a Wordpress menu. I copied the symbol character into the required field and it looks good on desktop. For some reason, the iPhone I use displays an emoji instead of the character. I already activated the Wordpress plugin "Disable Emojis" but this doesn't help. How do I force smartphones to display the simple black arrow instead of a colored arrow emoji?



The usual searches just bring up the idea with the Wordpress plugin which probably disables emojis globally but still lets smartphones override that.

You will never get the same emoji / symbol depending on os, service, browser, app, etc ... because it is interpreted.



Find below some examples :




1. On Twitter
On twitter
2. On FaceBook
On facebook
3. On Instagram
On instagram
4. On WordPress wysiwyg as text content
Wysiwyg as text content
5. On WordPress wysiwyg as visual content

    For the text variant, use the text presentation sequence:



    U+2197 U+FE0E (↗︎)


    For the emoji variant, use the emoji presentation sequence:



    U+2197 U+FE0F (↗️)


    For the default variant, use only the character:



    U+2197 (↗)


    but, as already mentioned, how will it be displayed by default depends on many factors: OS, browser, etc.
