Will this break emoji?

Not by default. Zero-width joiners inside an emoji sequence are what hold a family or a flag together, so they are kept unless you explicitly opt in to stripping them.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The scan runs in your browser and the text never leaves the page.

Zero-width space remover

Text copied from a web page, a PDF or a chatbot often carries characters you cannot see: zero-width spaces that break string comparisons, non-breaking spaces that survive a trim(), and bidirectional controls that can make source code read differently to a human than to a compiler. This highlights every one of them and lets you decide what to strip.
