The "d(*´-｀*)b" emote, also known as the "Appreciation" emote, is a Japanese emoticon that represents someone listening to music and nodding their head along with the beat. The "d" and "b" characters represent the person's hands, which are placed on either side of their head as if they are wearing headphones. The asterisks and hyphens represent the person's face and hair. Overall, the emote is used to express enjoyment or appreciation for music.
