Forum Help how to prevent emoticons from becoming emojis?

[MelodicCharm]

apologies if there was a pre-established thread i should have used to ask this, but is there any way to prevent emoticons from becoming emojis in my posts without having to space them out? i'm not really familiar with BBcode.
