The "꒰ ⁎×﹏×⁎꒱" emote, also known as the "Cloud Dead" emote, is a popular emoticon used to convey sadness, disappointment, or a feeling of being overwhelmed. It features a face with closed eyes and a frown, surrounded by cloud-like shapes. The emote originated in anime and manga culture and has since become widely used in online communication, particularly on social media and messaging platforms.
