The winking Lenny shrug. Same ¯_( )_/¯ shrug pose as the standard discord-02, but the left eye is now ͡~ — a wink, where the standard would be ͡°. The right eye stays open at ͡°, and the mouth is the classic ͜ʖ curve.
The wink is a major tone shift. Discord-02 says ‘I don’t know.’ This says ‘I do know, and I am playing dumb on purpose.’ It is one of the most expressive ways to say ‘wink wink, nudge nudge’ in kaomoji form. The shrug-arm gesture and the wink work together: the shoulders say ‘who knows?’ and the wink says ‘we both know.’
Use it for jokes that involve plausible deniability, for inside jokes between friends, for sarcastic ‘not me, definitely not me’ replies. On Discord and Twitter/X it lands in friendly-banter contexts. On TikTok captions it suits ‘asking for a friend’ style posts. It pairs well with leading questions and ‘subtle’ hints.
In Japanese the matching mood is しらをきる (shira wo kiru — to play innocent, to feign ignorance). Pair this kaomoji with phrases like ぼくは何もみていない (‘boku wa nani mo miteinai’ — ‘I saw nothing’), さあねえ (‘saa nee’ — ‘who knowwws’), or just leave it as the whole reply.
