Shy Kaomoji — 200+ Shy Lenny Face to Copy

Shy kaomoji use blush marks — the / and ⁄ slashes either side of the face — to show embarrassment or flustered affection. Those slashes come from manga, where diagonal lines across the cheeks mean blushing, and they are the single clearest signal in this category.

How to copy and type them

Tap to copy, then paste anywhere. The blush slashes are ordinary forward slashes and fraction slashes, so nothing unusual is required.

Worth knowing: the slashes work beside any face, not only these. Adding /// to a face you already like turns it into a flustered version of itself, which is quicker than searching for a new one.

Where they work

These render in WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Telegram and game chats.

One caveat specific to this category: the fraction slash ⁄ used in the more elaborate versions is a different character from the ordinary slash and has slightly weaker support — on older Android it can render with different spacing, which throws the symmetry off. The versions using plain / are safe everywhere.

Which one to use

Use shy for flustered affection or genuine embarrassment. For the specific register of being caught out, embarrassed kaomoji is closer. For softness without the blush, cute kaomoji, and for the decorated style kawaii kaomoji.

What do the slashes mean in shy faces?

They are blush marks, taken from manga where diagonal lines across the cheeks indicate blushing. In text faces they sit either side of the eyes — (*/ω＼*) — and mean flustered or embarrassed. You can add /// to any face to get the blushing version of it, which is faster than searching for a new one.

Do blush marks work on any face?

Yes, and that is the quickest way to get exactly what you want. Adding /// beside the eyes of any face turns it into a flustered version of itself. It works on cute, happy and even annoyed faces, where the combination reads as embarrassed irritation — a specific expression no single collection covers.
