The History of Lenny Face

The Lenny face ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) first appeared on the Finnish imageboard Ylilauta in 2012 and quickly spread to other platforms like 4chan and Reddit. Its distinctive raised eyebrow and smirk create a suggestive or knowing expression that became a staple of internet culture.

What makes Lenny special is its versatility. The basic structure can be modified to create hundreds of variations expressing different emotions or contexts. From happy to sad, angry to loving, Lenny has a face for every situation.

The face is constructed using Unicode combining characters, particularly the combining left half ring below (U+031C) and the combining inverted bridge below (U+032E), along with various other diacritics and special characters. This is what gives Lenny its distinctive "raised eyebrow" look that standard emoticons cannot replicate.
