Meaning & usage
Joy (＼(^o^)／) forms a text-based face or gesture.
Keep the complete sequence together so the expression retains its intended shape.
U+FF3C U+0028 U+005E U+006F U+005E U+0029 U+FF0F identifies this exact joy form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.
joy is a sequence of 7 Unicode code points, not a single character. Keep every part when copying it: removing a joiner, selector or component can change the result.
How to type joy
- Windows
- Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (FF3C + 28 + 5E + 6F + 5E + 29 + FF0F) and press Alt + X. There is no universal decimal Alt code for this character; legacy Alt codes depend on the code page.
- Mac
- Open Character Viewer with Control + Command + Space and search for joy. With the Unicode Hex Input keyboard enabled, hold Option and enter the UTF-16 units shown above. Standard Option shortcuts do not cover every Unicode symbol.
- Linux
- In compatible GTK applications, press Ctrl + Shift + U, enter FF3C + 28 + 5E + 6F + 5E + 29 + FF0F, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
- iPhone & Android
- Look for joy in your emoji keyboard if available, or copy it here and paste. Save frequently used symbols as a text replacement or keyboard shortcut; availability varies by keyboard.
