How the Lenny Face Is Built
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) is not an image and not an emoji. Each eye is a degree sign (°) preceded by U+0361, a combining double inverted breve, which is what draws the arch above it. The mouth is ʖ, a Latin letter reversed glottal stop, sitting beneath U+035C.
That construction is why it behaves oddly sometimes. Combining marks are positioned by the font, so a font with poor mark placement lets the arches drift off the eyes. It is also why the face survives copy and paste into places that strip formatting: there is no formatting to strip, only characters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lenny Face?
Lenny Face is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), a text face built from Unicode characters rather than an image. It spread from the Finnish imageboard Ylilauta around 2012 and is now standard on Discord, Twitch, Reddit and in group chats. It usually signals a knowing, cheeky or suggestive tone.
How do I copy and paste a Lenny Face?
Click any face on this page and it is copied to your clipboard. Paste with Ctrl+V on Windows, Cmd+V on Mac, or long-press and tap Paste on mobile. They are plain text, so they work anywhere text is accepted.
How is the Lenny Face made?
The eyes are degree signs (°) each preceded by U+0361, a combining double inverted breve, which draws the arch above them. The mouth is ʖ, a Latin letter reversed glottal stop, sitting under U+035C. Because those are combining marks, the face is a single line of text and not an image.
Why does the Lenny Face look broken on my phone?
Combining marks have to be positioned by the font, and not every font does it correctly. On some older Android keyboards and in a few apps the arches drift away from the eyes. The characters are still correct — it renders properly on most modern devices.
Is the Lenny Face rude?
The face itself depicts nothing, it is eyes and a mouth. It often accompanies innuendo, which is where its reputation comes from, but it is used broadly for smugness, mischief or sarcasm and appears un-gated on every mainstream text-face collection.
What are dongers?
Dongers are the ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ family, popularised by Twitch chat and the phrase "raise your dongers". They use Lao and Tibetan characters for the arms and eyes, so they are close relatives of Lenny rather than the same face.
