Copy the Lenny face

Click the classic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) or any variant and paste it into Discord, Reddit, a group chat, or wherever smugness is required. Each face is plain Unicode text, so it survives anywhere text does, no images involved.

A face with a history

Lenny first appeared on the Finnish image board Ylilauta in November 2012 and was banned there almost immediately, which naturally made it immortal. The face is assembled from phonetic alphabet characters and combining marks that were never meant to make a face, which is half the charm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Lenny face?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) is a text face built from Unicode characters that reads as smug or suggestive. It first appeared on a Finnish forum in 2012 and spread through Reddit and 4chan into general internet culture.

How do I type the Lenny face?

You do not, realistically: it mixes characters from several alphabets that no keyboard has. Everyone copies it, which is what this page is for. Click it once and it is yours.

What do the characters in ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) actually come from?

The eyes and brows are spacing modifier letters and combining marks from phonetic notation, and the nose ʖ is a character from the International Phonetic Alphabet. Typography doing things its designers never imagined.

Will Lenny faces display correctly everywhere?

Almost everywhere modern: Discord, Reddit, X, and messaging apps all render them fine. Some older systems misalign the combining marks, in which case the face looks slightly off rather than broken.
