Lenny Face — Copy and Paste

Lenny Face Copy and Paste

What is a Lenny Face?

A Lenny Face is a text emoticon built from ordinary keyboard characters and symbols. The classic version uses a pair of eyes, a small nose, and a mouth arranged inside brackets, which gives it a sideways smirk that many people read as cheeky, amused, or sarcastic.

People use Lenny Faces because they add tone to plain text. A short message can sound flat on its own, and a Lenny Face can show that a comment is meant as a joke, a tease, or a light reply. That is why these faces show up so often in gaming chats, comment threads, and messages between friends.

Unlike an emoji, a Lenny Face is only text. It does not depend on a phone or app update, and it can be pasted into almost any place that accepts typed text.
