Search for a side-eye
For side eye emoji copy and paste, type side eye in the search box: 12 tiles come up, from Unamused face to >_>. Search also reads CLDR, Unicode's list of search words, so hypnotized finds Face with spiral eyes. Pick a skin tone under More options and Detective follows it, as do three combos.
Which eyes arrive as eyes
Face with peeking eye is from Emoji 14.0 and Face with bags under eyes from 16.0, so a phone that predates them draws an empty box. >_>, <_< and o_O are plain ASCII. ΰ² _ΰ² needs a font with Kannada letters, and (λ_λ) one with Korean.
Tips
Emojipedia has Eyes glancing left on most platforms and Eye looking forward: It is what it is takes two.
An eye-roll is not a side-eye: Face with rolling eyes looks up, the only emoji CLDR files under eyeroll.
The moon faces depend on the screen: some platforms draw New moon face looking left, Emojipedia records, others straight ahead.
Questions and answers
Which one is the eyes emoji?
Eyes, U+1F440: a pair with no face, which Unicode files under body parts. CLDR gives it look, looking, seeing and googly, search words no other emoji has. The single Eye, U+1F441, is a separate character with a plain text form.
Is there a side-eye emoji?
Not by name. No emoji name contains side-eye, and the only emoji CLDR files under side is Cooking. The nearest are Unamused face and Smirking face, which Emojipedia describes with eyes looking to the side. Wikipedia's list of emoticons records >_> as a sideways look.
What is ΰ² _ΰ² made of?
Two letters and an underscore. Each eye is U+0CA0, which Unicode names KANNADA LETTER TTHA, and Wikipedia's list of emoticons records the face as the Look of Disapproval. (λ_λ) does the same with a Korean syllable that Wiktionary glosses as eye.
