The?emoji represents a hear-no-evil monkey, one of the three wise monkeys from Japanese folklore who symbolize the proverbial principle of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". This particular monkey covers its ears with its hands and has a worried or embarrassed expression on its face.
The?emoji is often used to express the idea of not wanting to hear or acknowledge something, or to indicate embarrassment or discomfort in response to something that has been said or done. It can also be used humorously to indicate that the sender is intentionally ignoring something or wants to avoid hearing any more on a particular topic.
