doesn’t work for me

	<?php
	//Disable emojis in WordPress
	add_action( 'init', 'smartwp_disable_emojis' );

	function smartwp_disable_emojis() {
	remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
	remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
	remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
	remove_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
	remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
	remove_filter( 'comment_text_rss', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
	remove_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wp_staticize_emoji_for_email' );
	add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_emojis_tinymce' );
	}

	function disable_emojis_tinymce( $plugins ) {
	if ( is_array( $plugins ) ) {
	return array_diff( $plugins, array( 'wpemoji' ) );
	} else {
	return array();
	}
	}
