I have thousands of files that I want to sync with Dropbox. Many of them include emoji in the filename. However, Dropbox does not support the subset of emoji that use 4 bytes.
I don't care about retaining these emoji in another way, I just want to remove them en masse from these filenames. I am not really an expert on UTF or ASCII encoding. I don't see an obvious way to do this with the detox command, but it feels like it would be a use case it would handle well. How may I do this?
There's some discussion here: yt-dlp/yt-dlp#7079
