The "⊂(・﹏・⊂)" emote, also known as "Sad Hug" or "Hug Emote," is a popular emoticon used to express sadness, disappointment, or a need for comfort. It features two angled brackets that resemble arms, with a small face in the middle that appears to be crying or upset. The emote is often used in online conversations, particularly on social media and messaging platforms, to convey empathy and support to others who may be going through a difficult time.
