I have a DataFrame that contains tweets and I am trying to remove all emojis but for some reason it is not working. I get a new columns with the emojis still there. Any advise would be appreciated
[![DF][1]][1]
def give_emoji_free_text(text):
"""
Removes emoji's from tweets
Accepts:
Text (tweets)
Returns:
Text (emoji free tweets)
"""
emoji_list = [c for c in text if c in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI]
clean_text = ' '.join([str for str in text.split() if not any(i in str for i in emoji_list)])
return clean_text
# Apply the function above and get tweets free of emoji's
df['emoji_free_tweets']=df['tweet text'].apply(lambda x:give_emoji_free_text(x))
