Ear: medium skin tone Emoji
People
A detailed illustration of a human ear, rendered in a medium skin tone. It clearly displays the outer cartilage and the ear canal, commonly used to represent hearing or the act of paying attention.
Usage Context
This emoji is the go-to for signaling that someone is listening closely, eavesdropping on a conversation, or asking for clarification. It is frequently paired with the speak-no-evil monkey to show a contrast between listening and speaking, or with music notes to indicate that the user is jamming to a song.
History
The ear was added to the Unicode standard in 2010. The skin tone options were introduced later in 2015 as part of the effort to make emojis more inclusive by allowing users to better represent their own physical features.
