The "ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ/" emote, also known as the "bear greeting" emote, is a text-based representation of a bear's face with a cute and friendly expression. It is often used to convey warmth, friendliness, or playfulness in online communication, particularly in chat rooms, forums, and social media platforms. The emote gained popularity in the early 2010s and has since become a beloved symbol of internet culture.
