(⑉౦ළ౦⑉)

Three little bars on each cheek, two perfectly round eyes, and a mouth that seems to have lost track of what it wanted to say: this face has been caught off guard and is turning pink about it. The bars are ⑉ (OCR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT NUMBER), a character Unicode files among its symbols for optical character recognition, named for a customer's account number. On screen it is three short vertical bars with rounded ends, all the same height, with small gaps between them: the first two thick, the last one thin. Both cheeks use the same character facing the same way, so the thin bar sits on the eye side of the left cheek and on the parenthesis side of the right one. The bars start a little above the middle of the eye's height and stop short of its bottom edge, right where blush lines would go. The eyes are ౦ (TELUGU DIGIT ZERO), the zero of the Telugu script of southern India: a thick, empty ring with no pupil, a touch taller than it is wide, so the stare looks wide open and frozen. The mouth between them is ළ (SINHALA LETTER MUURDHAJA LAYANNA), a consonant letter of Sinhala, the script of Sri Lanka. Its top edge has two small humps side by side; under them runs a horizontal stroke, and below that the letter swells into two nested curves, a small inner one wrapped by a larger outer one, both left open on the right. The mouth is wider than either eye. Its top is nearly level with the tops of the eyes, but it hangs below their bottom edge by almost a third of their height, like a jaw that has dropped, or lips mumbling something that never quite comes out. There are no spaces inside the parentheses, though each character keeps a little gap from the next. On February 28, 2014, a bot account that automatically posted kaomoji on X (then Twitter) posted this face. Only one other face on our site uses ౦ for eyes, and none uses ළ.
