About Crying Lenny Faces
These are the faces in the middle of crying — tears visibly falling, mouth open, the moment itself rather than the build-up or the aftermath. Characters like ಥ, ╥ and ′ do the work, stacking under the eyes to show tears in motion.
Crying, teary, or a full sob?
This site splits them deliberately, because they are not interchangeable. Use this page for active crying. For the moment just before — eyes filling but nothing falling — see teary faces. For the loud, theatrical, arms-in-the-air sob that is usually a joke, see cry faces.
Sincere or comic
The same face can read either way depending on how much you stack on it. A simple (ಥ_ಥ) sent alone after bad news reads as real. The same eyes wrapped in flailing arms and motion lines reads as comedy. Match the elaborateness to how serious you actually are — this is the single most common misfire with crying faces.
Where they render
All of these are plain Unicode and work in WhatsApp, Instagram, Discord, Telegram and TikTok comments. On Reddit, avoid the variants containing a backslash or double it, since markdown eats a single one.
FAQ
What is the crying Lenny face?
The most copied are (ಥ﹏ಥ) and (╥﹏╥), both showing tears actively falling.
What is the difference between crying and teary faces?
Crying faces show tears falling. Teary faces show eyes welling up before anything falls — a quieter, more restrained expression.
Do crying faces work on Reddit?
Yes, but variants containing a backslash need it doubled, because Reddit’s markdown treats a single backslash as an escape character.
