Is there a way to remove emojis, non-printable and other graphic
characters from a string? I can use a regexp with a-zA-Z and such but
this doesn't account for valid characters from non-ascii/non-Western
languages, right?

I've found that this regular expression works for emojis:
[^[:print:][:cntrl:]]

   [^[:print:][:cntrl:]]

Thanks! That is a good start.
