Yes, I know that this is a duplicate of a few existing questions. I have already fully acknowledged this with references in my original question introduction.

However, in 2019, the list is expanded to include additional set of 230 emojis, which I presume aren't covered in existing answers / ranges.

http://www.unicode.org/Public/emoji/12.0/

I am not exactly familiar nor comfortable constructing unicode ranges for removal, so if anyone knows can you post an updated version?

As per my understanding, the codes are a bit scattered around and cannot be easily defined from start to end in one single continuous range.

The best answer so far updated in 2018 here:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/41543705/2715309

text.replace(/([\uE000-\uF8FF]|\uD83C[\uDC00-\uDFFF]|\uD83D[\uDC00-\uDFFF]|[\u2011-\u26FF]|\uD83E[\uDD10-\uDDFF])/g, '');

As you can see, I also posted a comment about updated list, but the author hasn't updated answer yet.

    I'd be less concerned about the unicode ranges which are relatively easy, and more concerned with enforcing consistent character encodings so that your strings in JavaScript actually contain what you expect and don't have broken surrogate pairs. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 1:49

    One of the answers to the dupe question suggests a library that can update itself with the modified unicode standards.. Also, ~if~ when new ranges are added, you can just update your copy of the library, instead of having to ask here again. ;) Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 1:51

    @dev101 You did not refer to the question I linked anywhere in your question. The question I linked to has a working answer, which I emphasized with the comment. Please read the comment before complaining about it. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 1:55
