Emoji value range

The Unicode standard’s Unicode® Technical Report #51 includes a list of emoji (emoji-data.txt):

21A9 ;  text ;  L1 ;    none ;  j   # V1.1 (↩) LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK
21AA ;  text ;  L1 ;    none ;  j   # V1.1 (↪) RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK
231A ;  emoji ; L1 ;    none ;  j   # V1.1 (⌚) WATCH
231B ;  emoji ; L1 ;    none ;  j   # V1.1 (⌛) HOURGLASS
...

I believe you would want to remove each character listed in this document which had a Default_Emoji_Style of emoji.
