Depending on font. Inside my web browser, it appears to be looking up. On my web browser's title bar (so rendered by my window manager...), it appears to be looking down, or maybe straight forward. Fonts make a big difference on interpretation too.
I remember a few years back, there was a problem where Apple implemented "GRINNING FACE" in such a way that Apple users interpreted it as a sarcasm indicator, but most others would look just like a standard smiling face, leading to quite a number of awkward exchanges when non-Apple users would read things such as "Yes, let's burn it all down :)" instead of "Yes, let's burn it all down :|"
- avgcorrection 4y agoHuh. That’s weird. A looking down variant sounds misleading.
- chungy 4y agoIf you think that's weird, compare it between common fonts: https://unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/full-emoji-list.html#1f97a https://unicode.org/emoji/charts-11.0/full-emoji-list.html#1... Disregarding the "browser" column (could be anything, it's what your browser renders the text as), only the Twitter font has the "looking up" variant that you think is normal. I'd rather say the straight-ahead look is the norm for most font designers when interpreting the "FACE WITH PLEADING EYES" description of the character.
