πŸ’ Monkey emoji

[muhng-kee ih-moh-jee]


What does πŸ’ Monkey emoji mean?  

Monkeys. They are mischievous, cute, and … cute. This monkey emoji reflects that, with a sweet countenance and curled tail, sitting as if perched on a tree branch.

What is she up to? Sometimes we ask questions here, and we don’t always have the answers! But that doesn’t stop people from using the monkey emoji in social-media posts that range from animal-driven topics to comments on mischievous personal behavior.

Where does πŸ’ Monkey emoji come from?

The friendly monkey emoji was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015, the same time that other animals like pig, chicken, rabbit face, and rooster were added.

When the playful primate made its debut, chances are good that the idea was to release a whole menagerie of creatures into the emoji-sphere, because if you have one animal, you sort of need to have them all, don’t you?

What’s a lizard without a snake to keep him company? A gorilla without a monkey?
