The "ʕ•́ ᴥ •̀ʔ/" emote, also known as the "A cute bear greeting" emote, is a text-based representation of a bear face that is often used to express cuteness, friendliness, or playfulness. The emote consists of three parts: two round brackets representing the bear's ears, a snout made up of a hyphen and two dots for eyes, and a curved mouth that resembles a smile. It has gained popularity in online communities, particularly among fans of cute and wholesome content.
