The Hear-No-Evil Monkey Emoji (π) is part of the Three Wise Monkeys proverb: “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.” It depicts a brown monkey covering its ears with both hands, symbolizing blocking out sounds, refusing to hear something, or avoiding bad news. It can also express disbelief, surprise, or playful denial. Often used in funny, awkward, or dramatic conversations, it conveys not wanting to hear gossip, ignoring negativity, or reacting to loud noises. It can also represent innocence or pretending to be unaware of something.
