The "C・u・つ" emote or "Listening Something" emote is a popular Japanese emoticon that depicts a person with their hand to their ear, as if they are listening intently. It is often used in online communication to convey the idea of paying close attention or being engrossed in a conversation or activity. The characters "C・u・つ" are derived from the Japanese words for "ear" (mimi), "listen" (kiku), and "hand" (te).
