The Deal With It Kaomoji (⌐■_■)—also known as the “Sunglasses Face” or “Cool Face”—is the internet’s definitive symbol of swag, confidence, and victory.
Originating from the legendary “Deal With It” meme where pixelated sunglasses descend onto a character’s face, this text version allows you to channel that same energy in Discord chats, Reddit threads, and Twitter replies. It is the star of the “Cool” category in our Kaomoji Picker.

What does (⌐■_■) mean?
While the standard 😎 emoji is friendly, the Deal With It kaomoji conveys a specific type of attitude:
- Unbothered Victory: It is used after winning an argument or performing a cool stunt in a video game. It says, “I won, and it was easy.”
- Dismissal: Similar to the Shrug Kaomoji, it can be used to dismiss haters. “I’m going to do it my way. Deal with it.”
- Sarcastic Cool: Sometimes used ironically when someone does something decidedly uncool but pretends otherwise.
How to Type the Sunglasses Face?
This is one of the hardest faces to type manually because the “glasses” are made of geometric shapes, not standard letters.
- The Frame: ⌐ (Reversed Not Sign) — This math symbol creates the bridge of the glasses.
- The Lenses: ■ (Black Square) — Creates the pixelated look of the meme glasses.
Option 1: The Instant Copy
Don’t try to find the “Reversed Not Sign” on your keyboard. It’s not there. Use the Copy Button on this page (or the sidebar) to grab the face instantly.
Option 2: The “CSI” Sequence
If you want to be theatrical, you can type the full sequence of “putting on the glasses” (made famous by the CSI: Miami meme):

- (⌐■_■) (Yeahhhhhh!)
(Note: You can find this full sequence in the “Actions” tab of our picker tool).
