ﾁ( ꒪⌓꒪)ﾝ･･

Two ꒪ eyes, a radical from the Yi script, stare out perfectly round and perfectly empty, and between them the arched ⌓ hangs open like a jaw that forgot to close. The halfwidth katakana on either side belong together: ﾁ (chi) before the opening parenthesis and ﾝ (n) after the closing one spell chiin, the Japanese sound of a small bowl-shaped bell struck once. Nothing marks the long vowel in the middle; the whole face ( ꒪⌓꒪) stands in for it, so the face itself is the ring that hangs in the air. The pair of halfwidth dots ･ trailing after ﾝ is the hush once the sound fades. Japanese users type chiin right after a flop, when all that's left to say is welp, and it lands best when you aim it at yourself.
