Does a symbol for glasses exist?

Question

I could not find the symbol of the image below which is in a book in my possession. I honestly do not remember where I saw it. Could someone help me where this symbol is located? This symbol (red rectangle) does not exist in the Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List by Scott Pakin.

just use \includegraphics{zzz} for any picture of glasses that you find with a google image search — David Carlisle, Aug 23 '18 at 20:00
@DavidCarlisle wouldn't be \includegraphics{looklooklook} be more fitting? — Ulrike Fischer, Aug 23 '18 at 20:03
@Sebastiano if you have a book as paper you can not tell whether it is an image or a font glyph, why do you say it is not an image? — David Carlisle, Aug 23 '18 at 20:04
@DavidCarlisle I have used two tools on line What Font Is and What The Font and I have not find nothing. After I have searched on the web and I haven't find the same glasses. — Sebastiano, Aug 23 '18 at 20:08
This is not a duplicate of https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/250511/is-there-a-latex-symbol-for-glasses?. It is older, but have less answers and popularity, so I mot sure of which questions should be closed. — Fran, Sep 07 '18 at 10:34
@Fran I needed the pair of glasses of my image and not the ones with the moustache or modern style :-) is not a duplicate because I was asking if there was a precise font just for the glasses. — Sebastiano, Sep 08 '18 at 19:23
@Sebastiano Ok, he ask for a glasses symbol and not "that glasses symbol" but I will left the comment to maintain the link. I do not feel good cashing out Mr. Potato's decorations of a glasses party. :) — Fran, Sep 08 '18 at 19:39

Here is a TikZ solution.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{tikz}

\newcommand{\glasses}{\resizebox{3em}{!}{%
\tikz{\draw(0,0) coordinate (Origin) --++(0.2,0) coordinate (endL) arc (180:0:0.05)--++(0.2,0) coordinate (endR) --++(45:0.25) arc (180-45:0:0.08) (endR) arc (0:-180:0.1) (endL) arc (0:-180:0.1) (Origin)--++(45:0.25) arc (180-45:0:0.08);
}}}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\glasses\ \textsc{Attention}. \blindtext
\end{document}

ducks may hide but they are still tasty. – David Carlisle Aug 23 '18 at 20:17

@thymaro Is the smiling duck the one with the sun glasses because it can enjoy the sun? – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Sep 06 '18 at 13:07

The unicode character EYEGLASSES, code U+1F453

seems to be what you are looking for.

@Sebastiano If you own Font Awesome Pro, you can also use [light] or [regular] glasses. They look much better with non-bold text. – Marcel Krüger Aug 23 '18 at 20:28

Thank you very much, but do not get angry with me politely. I'm not as good as you are but it's really ugly an image like this. It looks like a book from the '800 :-) – Sebastiano Aug 23 '18 at 20:17

@Sebastiano yes but I cropped the image you posted, you could use a higher resolution scan of the original or as I said in the original comment use a google image search there are literally thousands of available line drawings you could use. – David Carlisle Aug 23 '18 at 20:19

@Sebastiano An improved solution to David's would be to use a drawing software like Inkscape to trace the shape and convert it to a vector image. This should be rather easy with any similar software. – Ian Aug 24 '18 at 08:25

@Sebastiano This is the most general answer. Just google an image and use it. Or if you want something more fancy, search for fonts that have glasses as symbol (examples here) and import that symbol probably with XeLaTeX). – luchonacho Aug 24 '18 at 11:33
@luchonacho I am writing a book together with a university colleague and there are many vector images. I was curious to know if there was a symbol of the glasses that I saw somewhere but I do not remember. Greetings. – Sebastiano Aug 24 '18 at 19:39

No images, no unicode characters, not tikz, no invisible ducks :(

Macho programmers use only ASCII. :)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\def\glasses{{\sffamily 
\leavevmode\rlap{%
\rotatebox[origin=tr]{125}{J}\kern1ex%  
\rotatebox[origin=tr]{125}{J}}% 
\rotatebox[origin=c]{-90}{D}%   
\rotatebox[origin=c]{-90}{D}}%
\def\ialy{\sffamily 
\resizebox{1ex}{1.5ex}{\reflectbox{\rotatebox[origin=]{75}{J}}}\kern-1pt%

Welcome to TeX.SX! - Maybe you could go on with Defining a custom symbol by path in TikZ. Thanks for your help. – Bobyandbob Sep 25 '18 at 19:20
@Bobyandbob Thanks for welcome! About "Defining a custom symbol by path in TikZ": sorry, I don't know how scale :( – daniel Sep 25 '18 at 19:35
An option could be \resizebox{0.5cm}{!} { \begin{picture}(100,60) ... \end{picture} } - See Is there a way to slightly shrink a table, including font size, to fit within the column boundaries?. If you can't solve it, you have to ask a new question. – Bobyandbob Sep 25 '18 at 19:48
