Speak-No-Evil Monkey Emoji
What does the Speak-No-Evil Monkey emoji mean?
A playful cartoon of a brown monkey with its hands over its mouth: known as Iwazaru in Japanese and one of the three wise monkeys. It looks like it’s holding back a word or guarding a secret. Widely used to promise silence or to show that something will be kept confidential.
One of the three monkeys, covering her mouth with her paws. Her eyes and ears are visible, but her mouth is closed — a clear sign she can’t say anything.
People usually use this smile when they’re keeping something secret and can’t share it, even though they’d love to. It also shows the inability to talk. If you don’t want to comment or can’t talk about something, send this monkey.
