Where it comes from
"Z" as the sound of snoring comes from comics; here it trails off the face like a speech bubble. The fullwidth － dashes draw calm, closed eyes.
When to use it
Use it to say good night, that you are heading to bed, or jokingly that a meeting or class is boring. Saying it about someone else's talk can sound rude.
Examples
- Heading to bed (－_－) zzZ
- This lecture is endless (－_－) zzZ
Variants to copy
What it is made of
Every character in the face with its Unicode code point — handy if one shows up as a box on a friend's phone.
