def emoji_counter(string):
no_of_emojis = 0
for char in string:
    if char in emoji.UNICODE_EMOJI_ENGLISH:
        no_of_emojis += 1
return no_of_emojis

I have written the above code. It works fine only for some emojis. But for a string like this "Oh, come on!!‍♂️" ( I am analyzing a whatsapp text )

The output for emoji_counter function is 4

When I copied the string to the one of the cells in my Jupyter Notebook, it shows extra two characters (a red dot and a gender symbol next to it). How can I fix this?

Thanks

Your code works fine. The reason you are getting wrong count is because, how the emojis are setup. Some of the emoji's are combination of emoji's

In your case ‍♂️ is actually shown as this in Jupyter notebook"

I have checked other emoji's also. Mostly the one that has a gender associated with it comes out like this.

Let me know if this helps.
