The "(- 、- )" emote or "Not Happy Smug" emote is a Japanese emoticon that typically represents a sly or smug expression. It features a straight line for the mouth, and two downward-facing triangles for the eyes, which may be accompanied by raised eyebrows or other variations. The overall effect is often interpreted as a sarcastic or mocking response to something, rather than genuine happiness or contentment.
