And are you using the LG Keyboard app, Google's Gboard app, or some other keyboard? Most keyboards these days come with a standard emoji option, so you often can't get rid of them completely. Try going to Settings>Language & Input, select your keyboard and go to its options. For Gboard, there's an option to turn off the emoji switch key -- if you turn it off, the language switch key will take its place.
