🙉
What 🙉 means
A brown monkey with big eyes, a tiny nose, and a slightly open mouth with two hands covering both ears. The character that inspired this emoji is part of the Three Wise Monkeys philosophy of the traditional Japanese folklore.
The 🙉 Hear-No-Evil Monkey emoji depicts a sense of restraining from listening to bad or evil stuff; this can mean gross stuff, gossip, or anything that you as an individual would not prefer hear or listen to.
