The Frequently Used section of emojis on this iPad is cluttered with emojis
selected in error, mostly only once. Is there any way to clear them out?

Use other emojis.

Is there a limit to the number? Anyway, I only want to use three or four,
I'm not really emoji aware. The rest are clutter.

Why would anyone much older than 15 or 16 use emojis? Back in junior
high school, the girls would draw litle circles or hearts-- instead of
dots-- over an i.

The Egyptians developed hieroglyphics 5000 years ago and are more
expressive than emojis!

True. But I'm far too old to learn hieroglyphs. A smiley face 😊 and a sad
one ☹️, and maybe a heart ❤️ is about all I need. The rest were picked up
by accident.

Not that I know of. Over time as you use others, the ones you don't use
will be replaced by the ones you use more often. I suppose if it truly
bothers you (first world problems, indeed), you could open a notepad and
type ones you prefer a few times to speed up that process.

The favorites category is a grid of 6 columns and 5 rows, so the most
used top 30 emojis will be ther, though there is a weighting for more
recently used emojis.

Then they will be the first 3 or 4. I do not know of anyway to clear the
favorites.

> I'm not really emoji aware. The rest are clutter.

Afte you type a message, tap the emoji button and some words will be
highlighted with possible emoji replacements. You might find you like
them more if you use them.

I find the skull and corssbones, check mark, coffe cup, ? and !?, thumbs
up, woman shrugging, top hat, and various faces to be quite useful. Oh,
and the 100 emoji, I use that one a lot.

Because they are useful and fast.

I doubt that. It's pretty much a one-size-fits-all feature.

Because they allow them to communicate with less effort than typing out
words. Duh. Apparently the entire concept of emojis just flew right over
your head, eh? Poor chap. BTW, there's nothing particularly juvenile
about emojis, nor is it rational to carp at those over 15 or 16 who
happen to use them. If my dear, old mom decides to send an occasional
heart my way, I personally see no reason to object.

Yes, well I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your hieroglyph
keyboard become a raging success.

Judging by the quality and insightfulness of your many technical posts,
you're a pretty bright guy. Surprising that you missed the point here ;-)

Because it's the only way to actually denote emotions when using text,
especially plain text. If someone posts:
Oi, jerk!
then there's little context. You can guess they're mad by the
exclamation mark, but it is only a guess. If they post:
Oi, jerk! X-(
then it is more obvious that they're mad, whereas posting:
Oi, jerk! ;-)
then it is more obvious that they are simply joking.

It's similar in the real world where facial expressions and voice tone
are used to add context to spoken phrases (e.g. "Oi, Jerk!" with a
scowl and growling tone means mad, but with a big grin or a wink with a
jovial tone means joking).

The Egyptians did use them thousands of years ago, but they're
meaningless to anyone today. Modern archeologists have largely simply
guessed at the translations, depsite things like the Rosetta Stone.
Similarly with the Mayans (hence the "end of the world" in 2000) and
many other dead written languages.

Your primary point seems to be that people who happen to use emojis are
supposedly immature. That's utterly lame, but isn't out of character for
you or your best buddy trolls here. ; )

The point was "Old man screams at yoots" and it's a boring point.
