How can I filter Emoji characters from my input so I can save in MySQL <5.5?

So it turns out this has been answered a few times, I just hadn't quite got the right Google-fu to find the existing questions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
