U+0028 U+FF0D U+005F U+FF0D U+0029 U+0020 U+007A U+007A U+005A identifies this exact sleepy form; copying the character preserves its Unicode identity, while its appearance depends on the font or emoji renderer.

sleepy is a sequence of 9 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 sleepy

Windows
Use Win + . for the emoji and symbol panel, or Character Map for supported fonts. In Microsoft Word, enter each hexadecimal code (28 + FF0D + 5F + FF0D + 29 + 20 + 7A + 7A + 5A) 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 sleepy. 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 28 + FF0D + 5F + FF0D + 29 + 20 + 7A + 7A + 5A, then Enter. Enter each code point separately for sequences. Other desktops or apps may require their character picker.
iPhone & Android
Look for sleepy 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.
