(*_*) This is a Lenny face. Lenny faces are an emoticon. Emoticons made out of text character like any other but what makes it different from the regular emoticons (EX: 🙂 ) is there history on the internet. Thru things like memes the Lenny face became very popular for a few months. During those times people changed the original ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) into several variants. Web sites like Le Lenny face generator assisted in making them. Now the Lenny face is less popular but is still easy to find and use.
