So, I have had this maddening passion about figuring out just what the heck is this '/.) face I have seen before. This is only a half joke, as I am REALLY BOTHERED BY THIS LACK OF EXPLANATION.
So, let us begin with the basic concept.
'/.)
Okay, so, after enlarging the image, we get roughly this:
Now, the basic tradition of reading chat emotes is to view them sideways, such as the : ) face.
So in that, we get:
It seems that the lower stick is to be the lip, and one eye is above it and a hat is above. The problem, however, is that there is a dot on top, as if to suggest that perhaps it is not a hat, but a additional feature not recognized.
The way the face is used is generally universal, without true motivation behind it. That being said, the face would have to remain relatively neutral to be all-purpose.
If we were to look at it rightside up, without the usual exceptions when viewing a text-emote, it sort of looks like a guy who got crushed between two elevator doors.
If anyone could provide a raw answer for me that'd be nice. I had asked and asked but no answers were clear.
