Answer 1

In the accepted answer I find the optionals cumbersome. This works with Swift 3 and seems to have no problem with emojis.

func textField(_ textField: UITextField, 
      shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, 
      replacementString string: String) -> Bool {

  guard let value = textField.text else {return false} // there may be a reason for returning true in this case but I can't think of it
  // now value is a String, not an optional String

  let valueAfterChange = (value as NSString).replacingCharacters(in: range, with: string)
  // valueAfterChange is a String, not an optional String

  // now do whatever processing is required

  return true  // or false, as required
}
