Hello,

I have a need to strip or remove all Emojis from work notes/comments prior to bridging them to another tool.  Does anyone have a solution to replace or remove Emojis?

Any help is appreciated.

Steve.

Business Rule - name 'Replace Unicode Chars when received'. 

Before rule in Insert only

Select Advanced

Filter:  'Type = received'

Script is below:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/) { 
 
// emoticons truncate emails, so remove them prior to insert 
gs.log ("Cleaning up Email Test:"); 
 
current.body_text = current.body_text.toString().replace(/^[\0\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]/g, ' - '); 
current.body = current.body_text.toString().replace(/^[\0\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]/g, ' - '); 
	
})(current, previous);

 

Thanks,

.replace(/([\uE000-\uF8FF]|\uD83C[\uDF00-\uDFFF]|\uD83D[\uDC00-\uDDFF])/g, '')

Use this regular expression

A more simplified function 

function removeEmojis (string) {
  var regex = /(?:[\u2700-\u27bf]|(?:\ud83c[\udde6-\uddff]){2}|[\ud800-\udbff][\udc00-\udfff]|[\u0023-\u0039]\ufe0f?\u20e3|\u3299|\u3297|\u303d|\u3030|\u24c2|\ud83c[\udd70-\udd71]|\ud83c[\udd7e-\udd7f]|\ud83c\udd8e|\ud83c[\udd91-\udd9a]|\ud83c[\udde6-\uddff]|\ud83c[\ude01-\ude02]|\ud83c\ude1a|\ud83c\ude2f|\ud83c[\ude32-\ude3a]|\ud83c[\ude50-\ude51]|\u203c|\u2049|[\u25aa-\u25ab]|\u25b6|\u25c0|[\u25fb-\u25fe]|\u00a9|\u00ae|\u2122|\u2139|\ud83c\udc04|[\u2600-\u26FF]|\u2b05|\u2b06|\u2b07|\u2b1b|\u2b1c|\u2b50|\u2b55|\u231a|\u231b|\u2328|\u23cf|[\u23e9-\u23f3]|[\u23f8-\u23fa]|\ud83c\udccf|\u2934|\u2935|[\u2190-\u21ff])/g;
  return string.replace(regex, '');
}
