(˶ˊ⊙﹏⊙˘˵)

The eyes, ⊙, are rings with a single black dot in the middle. Apart from the eyes and the parentheses, every character in this face sits at one of three heights measured against those rings: the top edge, the central dot, or the bottom edge. Up near the top edge are ˊ, at the upper left of the left ⊙, and ˘, at the upper right of the right ⊙. About level with the central dots are ˶ and ˵, just inside the parentheses, out beyond the eyes where the cheeks would be. Down at the bottom edge, the wavy ﹏ lies between the two ⊙ as the mouth. ˶ and ˵ are each a pair of short parallel strokes, but the two characters lean opposite ways: ˶ rises to the right, and ˵ falls to the right. The top pair doesn't even share a shape. ˊ is a short stroke rising to the right, just like ˶, while ˘ is a small arc that dips downward. ˶ and ˵ are mirror images of each other, the eyes are the same ⊙ twice, and the mouth is a single ﹏ in the middle, so the top level is the only place where the two sides differ. Neither ˊ nor ˘ sits directly above an eye; each is off to the side of an eye's outer upper corner, too far out to pass for an eyebrow, so they look more like small marks tucked beside the eyes.
