What is monkey covering eyes emoji?

The "Monkey Covering Eyes" emoji, officially known as the "See-No-Evil Monkey" (🙈), is part of a trio of monkey emojis representing the three wise monkeys. These monkeys embody the proverbial principle "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." The See-No-Evil Monkey emoji depicts a monkey with its hands covering its eyes, symbolizing a playful or embarrassed reaction, or the desire to avoid seeing something uncomfortable or awkward. It's often used in a lighthearted or humorous context in digital communications to express sentiments like "I can't look!" or "I'm too shy to see this."

This emoji is widely supported across various platforms, including iOS, Android, and web applications, although the design might vary slightly depending on the operating system or application used. It was added to the Unicode Standard in 2010 as part of Unicode 6.0 and in Emoji 1.0.
