None of the answers here worked for all the unicode characters I tested (specifically characters in the miscellaneous range such as ⛽ or ☯️).

Here is one that worked for me, (heavily) inspired from this SO PHP answer:

function _removeEmojis(str) {
  return str.replace(/([#0-9]\u20E3)|[\xA9\xAE\u203C\u2047-\u2049\u2122\u2139\u3030\u303D\u3297\u3299][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2190-\u21FF][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2300-\u23FF][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2460-\u24FF][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u25A0-\u25FF][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2600-\u27BF][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2900-\u297F][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|[\u2B00-\u2BF0][\uFE00-\uFEFF]?|(?:\uD83C[\uDC00-\uDFFF]|\uD83D[\uDC00-\uDEFF])[\uFE00-\uFEFF]?/g, '');
}

(My use case is sorting in a data grid where emojis can come first in a string but users want the text ordered by the actual words.)
