    Is there a way to remove emojis, non-printable and other graphic
    characters from a string? I can use a regexp with a-zA-Z and such but
    this doesn't account for valid characters from non-ascii/non-Western languages, right?

    I've found that this regular expression works for emojis:
    [^[:print:][:cntrl:]]

    Thanks! That is a good start.
