I am tring remove emoji with this code

private func removeEmojiFromString(username: String) -> String {
        if let i = username.unicodeScalars.firstIndex(where: { $0.value >= 128 }) {
            return String(username.unicodeScalars[..<i])
        }

        return String()
    }

Are you trying to strip them from user names, by any chance? – Alexander Jan 13 '20 at 15:37
