I am looking for a latex symbol for glasses (eye glasses...)? I can find symbols as fanciful as Marge Simpson, but no glasses. Do you know of any?

1That is Unicode U+1F453 (👓) so with a suitable font and xelatex or lualatex it is easy to use that character.– David CarlisleJun 16, 2015 at 9:00

You can build your own:
\documentclass[border=4pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\definecolor{Skin}{RGB}{221,188,135}
\newcommand\Glasses{%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\fill (-2,0) circle [radius=1.5cm];
\fill[white] (-1.95,-0.1) circle [radius=1.2cm];
\fill (2,0) circle [radius=1.5cm];
\fill[white] (1.95,-0.1) circle [radius=1.2cm];
\fill
(0,-4) --
(-1.9,-4) to[out=210,in=40]
(-3,-6) --
(3,-6) to[out=130,in=-30]
(1.9,-4) --
(0,-4)
;
\fill
(0.55,0) arc (0:180:0.55cm and 10pt) --
++(0,-10pt) arc (180:0:0.55cm and 10pt) -- cycle;
\draw[line width=1pt,fill=Skin]
(-0.55,-10pt) arc (180:0:0.55cm and 10pt)
to[out=-70,in=70]
(1.5,-4)
to[out=-110,in=-70]
(-1.5,-4)
to[in=-110,out=110]
(-0.55,-10pt)
;
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
\begin{document}
\Glasses
\end{document}
You may use the symbol U+1F453. Here are some fonts for this. You can browse the fonts on your system by clicking here.
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
\fontspec{symbola.ttf}\symbol{"1F453}
\end{document}

@DavidCarlisle Just add it and include mine as well. I will delete then. Your comment was faster than me. Thanks for the vote, though.– LaRiFaRiJun 16, 2015 at 9:17
