The "∗˚(* ˃̤൬˂̤ *)˚∗" emote or "I Have To Cover My Mouth" emote is typically used to convey a sense of surprise, shock, or embarrassment. It features a face with wide-open eyes and a hand covering the mouth, which can be interpreted as a reaction to something unexpected or inappropriate. The stars and the squiggly lines around the face are often added for emphasis or to indicate a blushing effect.
