Using regex to replace emoji characters #5

Closed perry-mitchell closed 8 years ago

perry-mitchell commented 8 years ago

When trying to use emoji-regex to replace certain characters, some data is left in the resulting string:

"❤️".replace(emojiRegex(), ' ').length; // 2

Although it will match, it doesn't appear to match the entire "string".
