Where does 🐒 Monkey emoji come from?

EmojiTerra

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?
