[scott at elementarysoftware.com]

Thank you all for your advice.  Jacque, normalizeText() was what I had vaguely remembered but couldn’t find.

Richmond, I am working on a library that removes emojis from text and replaces them with imageSource... so that the text can be printed to PDF on mobile. You are correct about the “going blue in the face” bit. And I’m pretty sure what I’m doing is just one step up from nothing.
