Among the three little wise monkeys, there is the one who hides his eyes, then the one who covers his ears and the one who covers his mouth with his hands. Each one presents its own meanings, but in any case, they represent a symbol of Asian origin tending towards the ignorance of evil, the renunciation of evil, that is to say, to make sure not to say it, not not hear it and not look at it. In this article, we are talking about the monkey emoji Kikazaru, or monkey emoji who hears no evil 🙉.

🙉 Emoji Meanings & Uses
In Japanese, this emoji is called "Kikazaru", which literally means "deaf" or can't hear anything. Being one of the three wise monkeys with the one who says nothing and the one who sees nothing, he is also translated as being the image sent back by the one who hears nothing bad, who makes sure not to listen to evil, which does not lend its ears to evil, including slander and gossip.
This emoji is depicted with a monkey face whose features resemble the Japanese macaque, covering its ears with its hands. He wears a fairly lively, receptive and above all happy air on almost all messaging systems.

Regarding his employment, it is often seen in online discussions or on facebook comments containing emojis to express deafness in the literal sense, but also astonishment (not being able to believe what you have just heard); conniving discretion (acting as if we have not heard information transmitted to us in error in order to show that we can be trusted); and denial (to tell someone to stop being stubborn and to be reasonable and know how to listen to others).
- I didn't hear anything 🙉.
- It's no use being so stubborn, listen to your mom, finally 🙉🙉.
