Visual structure
- The outer parentheses ( and ) create the round outline of the face, making the expression feel compact, soft and a bit chibi-like.
- The backtick ` on the left and the acute accent ´ on the right can be read as narrow eyes, or as eyebrows pressed down toward the center. Because they tilt inwards, they give a mischievous, confident vibe instead of a neutral stare.
- The ω symbol in the middle is used as the mouth. Its curved shape suggests a little pouty smile: not a big grin, but a tiny satisfied mouth, as if the character is quietly enjoying their own success.
Together these parts form a face that is both cute and self-satisfied. It is not angry or sad; instead it leans toward playful pride, gentle teasing, and a small sense of “I did well, right?”.

- Light pride after doing something well, such as finishing work, winning a game or helping someone.
