Anyamoticon

I mentioned in some earlier post how closely Anya's big grin resembles a sideways capital D.

This made me think that I need the following emoticon to indicate Anya in texts and emails:

: D

But then I thought that emoticon is pretty 'done' on teh internets as generally indicating amusement.

So I boosted the eyes a bit, as that's one of the first things people notice about her:

8 D

And I'm also thinking about adding her increasingly Bieberish hair. I tried this:

/ 8 D

to reflect the symmetry of her cut, but I'm concerned that the forward-slash symbol is a sort of emoticon shorthand for Hitler, leading to potentially embarrassing confusions, or just lots of unwanted emails from very happy Nazis.

So I'm settling on this:

( 8 D

Now you know.
