About

:^), early defined as "broken nose" and jokingly referred as "Dorito face", is a variation of the smiley face emoticon with an upward facing arrow representing a nose.

Origin

The exact origin of the emoticon is unknown. But the earliest archive and explanation of it goes back to 1997. The broken nose emoticon was compiled along within the other various emoticons by James Marshall from The University of Maryland : The Department of Astronomy.[7]
The original webpage does not exist today, but fortunately it has been achieved on the webside Internet Wayback Machine in 11 December 1997. The article defines the emoticon as seen below.
