Help with emoji problem.

[LiquidSnake]

Okay, so when I type '8)' without the quotation marks, it turns this into an emoji, which I do not want! What can I do to avoid this issue, without having to do a space between 8 and )?

I am using an S8 SM-G950FD with One UI 1.0 and Android Version 9.0. Many thanks! 🙂

Hello, I suppose you have already cleared cache and keyboard data?

Yup 😅... I realised this issue in my previous Samsung Post regarding top 10 apps, but it is not affecting Microsoft apps, so I guess it is fine 😁.
