How do I remove an Emoji Reaction?

I was looking at this post and trying to figure out wat that Reaction Emoji was (a human with a mask and cape? wat does that mean?) but I clicked on it by mistake. Now if I mouse-over it, it shows my name as someone who reacted that way.
Then I tried to "unclick" it but found no way to do so. (using default web interface).
So it looks like I reacted with that emoji, even tho I didn't intend to and I don even know what that emoji means. Is there some way to remove my name from the list of people who clicked it? Thanks.
There is no way, currently. But if you choose another emoji it will replace the first one so you can change to something more appropriate.
I wasn't sure how people would expect to remove it. Did you click on your reaction, hoping it would undo?
That is likely how they expect it to undo it, yeah. Like an upvote.
if you choose another emoji it will replace the first one
ok, thanks.
Did you click on your reaction, hoping it would undo?
Yes, first I clicked on it. When that didn't work I clicked on the "emoji" icon to see if there was a "remove" button or something.
Ah, the racist emoji? I don't even know why it's included.
J/k. I'd like to know, too.
This just happened to me as well. I accidentally clicked on the "emoji" button, and as the popup was loading emojis, I attempted to click the "X" to close the popup window. However, a fraction of a second before I was able to click on the "X" the window resized (as the emojis loaded in) and I ended up selecting an emoji to react with.
Hello, brother mine.

It's a finicky feature and full of adventures. Enjoy the fun!
