What the Lenny face is made of
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) is only 11 characters. The eyes are degree signs (°), the nose is ʖ (U+0296, a letter from the phonetic alphabet), and the eyebrows and mouth are combining marks: U+0361 draws the arch over each eye and U+035C the curve under the nose.
Combining marks don't take up space of their own; they attach to the character before them. That's why the face can look slightly different in each app or font.
Frequently asked questions
What does ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mean?
It's a sly, mischievous grin, used when something sounds suggestive or when you're up to no good. It spread on internet forums around 2012.
Why is it called the Lenny face?
The name is an internet nickname that stuck; it isn't based on a particular person.
Why does my Lenny face look wrong?
The eyebrows and mouth are combining marks that sit on top of the next character. Some fonts and apps place them differently.
