( ⌯᷄ω⌯᷅ )ﾔﾀﾞｧ

Look at the little strokes riding on ⌯᷄ and ⌯᷅: they are the eyebrows, and each is a combining mark laid over the eye before it. Both are short flat bars with one end bent upward, the right end on the left brow and the left end on the right brow, so the two lift toward the middle of the face in the worried slant of someone about to whine. Under them, ⌯, a technical symbol Unicode calls SYMMETRY, is three horizontal strokes with the longest in the middle, which reads as eyes screwed shut. Each parenthesis stands two spaces away from the face, so the scrunched eyes and the small ω mouth look pulled in, as if the face were shrinking from what is coming. After the closing parenthesis, ﾔﾀﾞｧ spells yadaa, a whiny Japanese "nooo, I don't want to," in half-width katakana; the voicing mark ﾞ that turns ﾀ (ta) into ﾀﾞ (da) takes up a character of its own, and the small ｧ drags the ending out. On X it closed an after-work post: the writer was worn out and had just realized days like this would keep coming until the end of the month.
