Somehow I got the following imoji screen when trying to compose an email and don’t know how to get rid of it. I tap the globe symbol to get the standard imoji choices, then tap keyboard to get back to the message I’m writing but the screen pops up again when I start to type. The only way to get rid of it is to delete Symbols in Settings. Please help!
iPad, iPadOS 13
I think you should use the Edit button to remove Symbols Keyboard from the list. It will be active as long as it is there.
3rd party keyboards are normally in a separate section of the list you get when you tap on Add New Keyboard.
Normally 3rd party keyboards will also have an app icon somewhere on your screens. You might want to delete it there if you can find it.
It is somewhat disturbing if this app got onto your phone without you or any other person having deliberately gotten it from the App Store.

I have no idea where It came from. The only imojis I have are those that came with the various IOS updates, or at least I know I haven’t intentionally purchased or downloaded any as I really don’t use them that much. BYW, I have the latest update..13.5.1. My sister first called my attention to the issue by telling me that keyboard popped up and she couldn’t get rid of it so I started to try to duplicate the problem. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have downloaded a third party app either. I do see Symbols as one of my listed keyboards. Perhaps it snuck in without my knowledge. Below are the ones listed as keyboards. I don’t have the symbols turned on due to a warning that what I type can be read by others.

But I don't think Apple provides anything that looks like the screen shot you posted. I would guess that is from some 3rd party keyboard or app, perhaps called Symbols. They look like graphics rather than real unicode characters like emoji.
Where exactly was the "setting" you referred to earlier?
isn't it this?
Hello,
Press the globe key to cycle back to your regular keyboard.
If that 3rd party stuff if popping up when it is not supposed to, it's got problems. Remove it from your Keyboards list and contact the people who made it.
I did do that. Please read my original post where I said attempting to type popped up that arrow window again. To my knowledge I don’t have any third party keyboards, only what came standard.
Sure looks like it, but I didn’t download it. Wonder how it got there, and to my sister’s iPad as well. That’s a mystery.
I just removed it. Thanks very much for the responses. I’ll be sure to monitor the listed keyboards from time to time.
