Speak-No-Evil Monkey Emoji

What does the Speak-No-Evil Monkey emoji mean?

The Speak-No-Evil Monkey emoji (🙊) comes from the Smileys & Emotion set and represents speak-no-evil monkey.

Once your system has an updated emoji font, the character renders consistently wherever you paste it. People reach for this smiley when they want to show feeling rather than describe it.

On Apple, Google, Samsung, Microsoft and other vendors the artwork differs slightly — colour palette, shading, and line weight change — but the core concept of speak-no-evil monkey stays identical, so the emoji remains universally readable. You can copy this emoji as the character itself (🙊), as an HTML entity (🙊), or as a shortcode (:speak-no-evil-monkey:) for platforms like Slack, Discord, and GitHub.
