What Does the ๐ monkey Emoji Mean?
A monkey in full body with a long curling tail, usually brown and shown in profile or clambering. Mischief is the dominant reading here rather than anything zoological, and it arrives before the animal does. Across a great many cultures the animal carries cleverness and trouble in roughly equal measure, and the emoji inherits both of those without favouring either one.

About monkey Emoji
Usage: Playful misbehaviour is its main job, applied to children, friends and occasionally oneself. Zoo and wildlife accounts use it literally. Climbing and agility attract it as well. One warning is worth stating plainly: the image carries a racist history in football contexts, which makes directing it at a person genuinely harmful.
Encoded in Unicode 6.0 in 2010. The set distinguishes this full-body monkey from a monkey face and from the three wise monkeys, five characters in total, which reflects how thoroughly Japanese carrier sets covered the animal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ๐ and ๐ต?
Framing. This is the full body with a tail, while the other is a face only. The face reads as cuter and is used far more often in casual messages.
Is ๐ ever offensive?
It can be seriously so. Monkey imagery has a long racist history, particularly in football, and directing it at a person is harmful regardless of intent.
How many monkey emoji are there?
Five: the full body, the face, and the three wise monkeys covering see, hear and speak no evil. That coverage came from Japanese carrier icon sets.
