Disable emojis on Android 6.0.1 on samsung S6

[maneatingshoe]

Is there a way to disable emojis on the default texting app that comes on the S6? I much prefer to see the ascii characters instead of the silly green faces that come with android. The face that comes up for "<3" is actually the worst...

If not is there a texting app that doesn't have emojis?

Textra has many sets of emojis:
