The "(・ε・`* )" emote, also known as the "Worried Kisser" emote, is a Japanese emoticon typically used to convey a sense of worry, anxiety, or unease. It features a face with raised eyebrows, a slightly open mouth, and a small kiss mark on one cheek, which can be interpreted as either a sign of distress or an attempt to comfort someone who is upset.
