Speak-No-Evil Monkey Emoji

Description

The Speak-No-Evil Monkey, also known as the "Iwazaru" (Japanese for "say not"), is one of the iconic Three Wise Monkeys. This expressive brown 🐵 Monkey Face emoji is depicted with its hands covering its mouth, symbolizing the proverb "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." This metaphor is often interpreted as a call for discretion or a willful ignorance of wrongdoing. The Speak-No-Evil Monkey emoji can be used in a playful or mischievous way to convey a sense of "I can't believe what I just said!" or "Oops, my lips are sealed!" It can also communicate the idea of keeping a secret or not revealing sensitive information. The emoji may be used in a similar context as the 🤭 Face With Hand Over Mouth or 🤐 Zipper Mouth emojis. It's important to note that the Speak-No-Evil Monkey emoji has been considered racist in certain contexts, particularly when used to disparage, insult, or abuse people with darker skin, especially Black individuals. This emoji was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015, and its use should be approached with sensitivity and awareness of potential cultural and historical implications.
