Where this?

Did you ask there? Does it mean you are cross posting now?

> and I couldn't get any of these to work.

what does this mean?

Could you provide sample input to test?

Personally I would restrict with a positive filter (white listing)

what does it help to block emojis and allow arbitrary Unicode to appear?

Better dump the $text your application handles, before and after applying the regexes. I suspect the data you are processing doesn't look like it is supposed to do. (Probably Html escaped) Anyway, in general providing us with a complete test script showing input and output would help you and us. Often errors are spotted by the authors when preparing a post like this.

No I didn't post on stack overflow, I just found similar questions posted and regex provided by response (in other languages).	[reply]
