Three sizes of face

Eight faces are four lines tall and fit in eleven columns. Fourteen are nine lines tall and fit in twenty-six. Six are eleven lines by twenty-eight, the largest: smiley, grinning, laughing, sunglasses, sweating and crying.

Smile text art, with a sign

Smiley with a sign comes first: a smile ten lines tall holding a board that says HELLO. Type over it, five characters as drawn or seventeen if you use the padding.

  • For large emoticons sweating, copy Big sweating face or Large sweating face, each with a drop on the brow.
  • Three square faces are Squash-proof, with no spaces to fold. Why spaces fold.
  • Faces that fit on one line are on text faces.

Questions and answers

How do I make a big emoticon out of text?

Draw a round outline, then set two eyes on one row and a mouth on the next. Four-line smiley face is the outline plus two letters o, a backslash, an underscore and a slash.

What is the largest emoticon here?

Six faces are 11 lines tall and 28 columns wide: smiley, grinning, laughing with tears, sunglasses, sweating and crying. They need a monospaced font and a box at least 28 characters wide.

Which big faces fit a short message?

The eight four-line faces: nine columns wide, or eleven for the sleeping one with its z. Three more are squash-proof: a smile, a wink and a sad face in a square frame, with periods for blanks.

How this list was compiled: Own work: every face was drawn for this page on 2026-10-02, rendered in a monospaced font and looked at; none is copied from an archive or another site. The faces share three round outlines of this site's own, four, nine and eleven lines tall, and each face is that outline with eyes, brows and a mouth set in by row and column; the sign, the shrug, the thumbs up and the three square faces were drawn one by one. All 34 read as the face they are named for at the first look and were kept. A kissing face and a sick face, which the plan listed, were left out. Every character is one of the 95 printable ASCII characters, U+0020 to U+007E. Squash-proof means no line starts with a space and no two spaces touch. The comment box badge means at most 8 lines and 30 columns: a rule of thumb of this site, not a promise about any app. Licence: own work
