How do you remove emojis from Iphone 12 Thank you!
[Edited by Moderator]
You cannot remove the emojis. Apple does not make them and they are available on all devices whether the device is made by Apple or not. For more information about the emoji list and how to add additional ones, you can check out the Unicode standards here:

Most of the known and actively-used writing systems associated with the residents of that large rock known as Earth are included within an encoding scheme known as Unicode.
The Unicode Standard is implemented across most modern computers and devices, and probably includes all of the writing schemes you are familiar with. And also includes writing systems many are likely not familiar with. Cherokee, for instance.
Also included in Unicode are mathematical symbols, graphics, some control characters, various sorts of space characters, alchemical glyphs, and many other glyphs. Apple does not provide display fonts for all of Unicode, but does provide fonts for some interesting and ancient and historical writing systems (𓆉). The ability to encode text left-to-right and right-to-left is also present. One small part of Unicode is the so-called Emoji block, a part of which includes national flags and some other glyphs.
Common Unicode encoding schemes such as UTF-8 require negligible storage, particularly the ASCII block that is in widespread use around here. The display fonts utilized by Apple aren’t particularly voluminous, either. The whole thing—fonts and all—requires negligible storage.
And no, Apple does not provide any means to remove specific Unicode blocks, or to remove specific Unicode characters, or to remove specific characters included within the system fonts. There are ways to add fonts, though.

Hello~ You can’t remove these emojis. You can click on below and leave Apple your feedback…

The only place you contact about emojis is the Unicode Consortium. They, and only they decide what emojis are added to the set.
Or, sometimes removed. Such as, there used to be an emoji of a handgun. But of course, some folks started to use it as a visual threat to others. That prompted the handgun to be removed and replaced with the image of a squirt gun.
But otherwise, emojis cannot simply be removed willy-nilly. As explained above, there has to be a commonality to the set in order for it to work across all devices. You can't have, say, a baseball in xxx position for the Mac, but on an Android device, the same Unicode position is a football. Every OS has to have the same emojis in the same Unicode positions, or it can't work.
Just as with the alphabet, you can not arbitrarily remove any of the characters.

Yes, and to be clear we are talking about how computers display emojis and letters, which is not specific to the iPhone. Computers use numbers to operate and at the lowest level, only two numbers, 0 and 1. Each letter/emoji is given a number by the Unicode standards so they are the same no matter what kind of computer you are using. For example, the letter "A" is the number 65. When a computer is told to draw the letter associated with the number 65, it will draw the letter "A". The computer has no idea what "A" is, only that it is the unicode number 65. Emojis also have the same kind of numbers assigned to them, which is why they are compared to letters. Hope this helps.
I'm sure you could imagine the trouble without these standards if one device displayed "B" when told to draw number 65 and all the others displayed "A".

You’re asking for lots of added work, for additional testing as now everybody has to test with and without the block present and resolve all the cases that will break—this including extra testing I’d end up doing for apps—and this all seemingly for no obvious benefits.
Maybe I’m missing something here more generally, so please explain your requirements and your reasoning for this removal?
There can be other and more subtle uses for emojis too, such as using them in regular expressions used for filtering out social media postings that include certain emojis. A different sort of hashtag filter, this.

You can become a member of the Unicode Consortium. The links have already been provided. As a member you can provide feedback on proposals and even vote for them. You do have the option to not use emojis at all. If you do not tap on the emoji key on the keyboard you will never see them when typings, although people can still send your emojis. The only way to stop people from sending something to you that you do not like, whether it is a picture, meme, or emoji is to block them. Problem Solved!

You cannot delete emojis.
Hello ~ Your question was answered in your last post. You can’t remove emojis.
