I always thought This was sunglasses  ß-)  or  B^)
I have no idea how those render in graphics, and since I have no idea what
characetr set you readers are using, the first one has a decimal 225, which
is a beta sign like a stylized capital B in cp437 which I used to use for
BBSing. (the emoticon and the charset)

Rendering bits of code into pictures that have nothing to do with the code
is truly idiotic. I blame Microsoft for putting computers into the hands of
the vacuous and the rigging up an OS that is nothing more than a show-floor
demo that makes the user think they are actually operating their computer,
which of course took off like wildfire in our something for nothing culture.

not that I'm bitter or anything... :)
