In the thread “Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything”
Helped: Explicitly complaining about emoji usage to the tool.
Got in the way: Constant annoyance from random emoji prefixes.
… "Okay, sorry about that, I will not use emoji from now on in my responses." And I'll be damned, but there were no more emoji after that. (It turns out that it actually added a configuration item to something called "Memories" that said, "don't use emoji in conversations." Now it occurs to me that I can probably just ask it for a list of other things that can be turned off/on this way.)
