Henohenomoheji

Henohenomoheji () or hehenonomoheji () is a face known to be drawn by Japanese schoolchildren using hiragana characters.
The word breaks down into seven hiragana characters: "he" (), "no" (), "he" (), "no" (), "mo" (), "he" (), and "ji" (). The first two "he" are the eyebrows, the two "no" are the eyes, the "mo" is a nose, and the last "he" is the mouth. The outline of the face is made by the character "ji", its two short strokes ("dakuten") forming the ear or cheek. Henohenomoheji is often used to symbolize a nondescript or generic human face, such as the faces of "kakashi" (scarecrows) and teru teru bōzu.
