Lenny Face or that little face

O Lenny Face, also called that little face in Brazil, it is one of the most used emoticons in social media, either by the public or by large companies. The expression is used to express irony and mockery, represented by a face made through symbols unicode, see: ( ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡°).

The emoticon can be replicated from commands on a keyboard computer. However, because it uses very specific characters to form an ironic face, it is difficult to remember all the movements by heart. Because of this, many people prefer to search Google for “lenny face generators” to copy the drawing.

Since its inception, Lenny Face has been used for various purposes, such as posts on social networks, photo montages, video frames from YouTube, Twitter publications, among others.

In addition, it is common to see the emoticon in forum discussions, especially when someone asks an obvious question or one that can be interpreted as “debauchery”.

Origin of Lenny Face

Lenny Face was first used on November 18, 2012, on a Finnish website called Ylilauta.

Although there is no record of who invented the little face, it became popular and gained name variations, such as “Le Desu” or “Le Face Face”. Many people associate Lenny Face with the face of "Bob the Builder", the character and protagonist of the homonymous cartoon.
