If you're referring to the animated emojis, those aren't the default ones anyway. Updating to Android 14 appears to have moved some things around in the list of emoji sets for several people.
To get the actual default emojis back to the first position in the list, look at the row of little colored icons directly above the emojis (you may have different ones than I do).
Swipe that row all the way to the right end and tap the gear icon there.
You should now see a screen that will let you toggle off any emoji sets that you don't want. The animated set that everybody hates so much is labeled "2_5D animated emoji".
If you tap the word "Edit" in the upper right corner, you can change the order that the emoji sets appear on the list. You can even select sets that you don't want and delete them.
Look at my screenshots and make sure that you put the default set at the top of your list so it looks like mine. This one is labeled simply "Emoji" and cannot be turned off or deleted. You can turn off the others or delete them if you want to.
You should now have the real default set of emojis in the first position in your keyboard. They should look the ones in the screenshot on the far right.
I hope this helps! š

Just above the emojis is a row of icons for all the emoji sets that you have installed. Don't worry if you don't have the exact same icons as I do. I've downloaded several custom sets from the Galaxy Store.
Drag this row of icons to the left as far as you can and a gear icon will appear on the far right side of that row. I circled it in red in my screenshot.

If you don't want to bother changing the settings, you can simply find the icon for the default set and tap it to use the good emojis again.
I've rearranged my list to put the two icons next to each other so you can see the difference. You may have to swipe that row of icons back and forth a bit to find the icon you're looking for.
The icon for the animated emoji set has stars in its eyes. The icon for the default set doesn't.
