The Ear emoji 🦻 depicts the human ear, showing the outer ear with the auditory canal and eardrum visible. It was introduced in 2019 as part of the Unicode 12.0 standard and is commonly used to represent listening or hearing.
The Ear emoji is often used in social media posts and text messages, particularly when sharing audio or music-related content. It can also be used in the context of eavesdropping, overhearing or asking someone to listen closely.
This emoji is available in different skin tones, allowing users to customize the skin color of the ear depending on their preference or to better represent themselves or the person they are referring to.
Example:
I can't hear you, could you speak into my 🦻?
Did you listen to the new album? It's 🔥🦻🎧!
🤫🦻 Don't tell anyone, but I overheard a juicy secret.
