Shocked vs scared vs shocked Lenny face
A plain shocked kaomoji like (⊙_⊙) is a wide, neutral stare with no extra emotion attached. A scared kaomoji adds shaking parentheses (((…))) or semicolons to show fear rather than plain surprise. A shocked Lenny face reuses the same combining marks ( ͡ ͜ ) as the classic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) meme, just with wider eyes and an exclamation mark, reading as startled rather than smug.

Do shocked kaomoji work on iPhone, Android and Discord?
We have not published a per-device test table for these faces yet, so we do not claim how each one renders on iPhone, Android, Windows or Discord. Faces built from common symbols such as ⊙ ° Д ロ usually display on current phones; the combining marks in the Lenny-style faces can space differently between fonts. Copy a face and paste it where you plan to use it to check.
