How it works

Weird emoticons borrow their parts from three scripts: the eyes are a Lao letter, the nose is the Arabic letter lam and the brackets are a pair of Tibetan marks, as in ༼ຈل̮ຈ༽. Tap a face to copy it.

Weird text faces, part by part

ຈ is Lao letter co, U+0E88, one for each eye. ل is Arabic letter lam, U+0644, with a small breve drawn under it, for the nose and mouth. ༼ and ༽ are a pair of Tibetan marks, U+0F3C and U+0F3D, that open and close the face. The note under each tile lists what that face borrows.

Why some devices show a box

A device needs a font for every script a face borrows from: Lao, Arabic, Tibetan and, for the flexed arms, Canadian syllabics. One with no font for a script draws an empty box in place of that character.

  • The arms are borrowed too: ᕙ and ᕗ are Canadian syllabics, and ヽ is a Japanese repeat mark.
  • The Lenny face and its relatives are on text faces.

Questions and answers

How do you make weird emoticons?

Put a Lao letter each side of an Arabic lam and close the face in Tibetan marks: ༼ຈل̮ຈ༽. No keyboard layout has all three scripts, so copy the face here, then change the arms or add a word.

How do you make the weird text face?

If you mean the one with raised arms, it is ヽ༼ຈل̮ຈ༽ノ, the first tile here. If you mean the Lenny face with its tilted brows, that one is on the text faces page.

What is weird smiley face text made of?

Characters from several scripts, used for their shapes and not their sounds. In ༼ຈ‿ຈ༽ the smile is an undertie, the eyes are Lao letters and the brackets are Tibetan marks.

How this list was compiled: This site's own faces, put together from parts on 2 October 2026. Each has at least one of three borrowed parts: a Lao letter for each eye (ຈ, U+0E88 Lao letter co; also ອ and ວ), the Arabic letter lam, U+0644, for a nose, with U+032E Combining breve below under it, and the two Tibetan marks U+0F3C and U+0F3D for brackets. Every character, its name and its script was checked against UnicodeData.txt, Scripts.txt, Blocks.txt and emoji-data.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/), with the kaomoji family's own checks: no face that another kaomoji page of this site holds, none that differs from another only in the kind of bracket, and a note under each tile naming the script every borrowed part comes from. Nothing is said here about where the style came from: no source for that was read. Licence: own work
