Meaning
The 🙉 Hear-no-evil monkey emoji represents one of the three wise monkeys, symbolizing the principle “hear no evil.” It features a monkey covering its ears, indicating a desire or action to ignore negative or harmful information. This emoji is often used to express that someone doesn’t want to hear something unpleasant or is intentionally ignoring certain facts or statements. It’s a visual representation of the saying, “If I can’t hear it, it’s not happening.” This emoji can also convey a playful refusal to listen to gossip or secrets. When compared to its counterparts, the 🙈 See-no-evil monkey and 🙊 Speak-no-evil monkey, each monkey covers a different sense organ to convey the principles of not seeing, hearing, or speaking evil, respectively. The 🙉 emoji specifically focuses on the auditory aspect, emphasizing the choice to block out negative sounds or words.
