How do I remove emoji from keyboards?

You should be able to remove the keyboard from Settings, General, Keyboard, International Keyboards, Emoji, then just uncheck the Emoji keyboard.

WTH.

Try going to settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboard>Edit>Delete

Install iFile..

Then edit from iFile:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preferences.plist

<key>KeyboardEmojiEverywhere</key></false>

I am unable to use the normal keyboard in an Iphone. I can only use Emoji which is obviously not good. How do I remove Emoji?

@djazzy_jazz, is the solution you provided a change you make on the Iphone or on a companion Mac?

Nope.. Just install iBackupBot (or something like iFile) on your PC or MacBook. Try this http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm

Thanks man, it was simple but I was clueless...and you gave me the solution.
