I believe I saw the “(_/” in one of your posts and did indeed recognize it as an unbent paperclip, so it’s a good emoticon. Thank you for providing these! c=@
Thanks! (Keep in mind, though, “clippy” should not be capitalized when referring to paperclip-maximizers in general. As written, your statement means I’m good relative to a set that includes only myself.)
What does this emoticon depict? If “@” is a paperclip then what is “c=” intended to represent?
The emoticon as a whole is a paperclip. The @ represents the part of it where the inner loop terminates to make the wire-tab that clips from the front of the paper (along with the outer coil that is near this). The c= represents the other end of the paperclip, in the part where the wire is still looping around.
Could you post an image or a string of these characters forming a paperclip?
I didn’t record the unicode characters or their appearance, so I can’t. However, if you imagine a paperclip lying horizontally and cutting it into three character-sized pieces, that is what those symbols look like.
“my _little _pony” is now a LessWrong tag.
Also, a bunch of LW people have been ponified in this amazing thread.
Leonhart:
Note: I am very behind on art, but I have a batch of five more ponies that I plan to color (including one of Clippy).
Sweet! ’Til then, here’s a picture of the other Clippy… (not by me!)
I don’t care about color. *pause for emphasis* Could you post the non-color Clippypony now?
Alicorn has now posted “Clippony” here!
Aside: I seem to recall you using a paperclip-emoticon at some point. If this is the case:
Could you re-post the emoticon, please?
Do you prefer others to use human-face-emoticons or paperclip-emoticons, or do you have no preference?
I typically use c=@ as the “happy” emoticon, and (_/ as the “sad” emoticon (because it’s unbent).
No preference about what others do for emoticons.
Edit: Someone also found some Unicode symbols which, together, make a better paperclip figure, but I can’t get that to work.

Thanks! You’re a good human! c=@
That’s sweet of you, Clippy! Thanks! Admittedly I’ve got a fairly small sample size, but I think you’re a good clippy too.

Thanks for your explanation! ⊂⊆⊃

Clippony will be done in shades of gray, but currently is not suited for public display, as it is only a sketch.
