The "(・∧ ‐ )ゞ" emote, also known as the "Insecure Wink" emote, is a Japanese emoticon that represents a person winking while feeling nervous or unsure. The upward-facing arrow indicates the raised eyebrow of uncertainty, while the downward-facing arrow represents the closed eye of the wink. The diagonal line represents the mouth, which is turned down to convey insecurity or unease.
