Describing a person, character, or behavior that radiates sigma energy — quiet, self-reliant, operates outside social hierarchies, doesn't seek validation, and somehow always seems to win without playing the game. Sigma-coded characters are the ones who eat lunch alone by choice and turn out to be billionaires. The term is used with varying degrees of irony: earnestly in manosphere circles, affectionately in pop-culture analysis, and mockingly in meme culture.

He showed up to the reunion in a rental car, spoke to nobody, left in twenty minutes — absolutely sigma coded.
