The "(ಥ◡ಥ)" emote, also known as "Evil Tears," is a text-based emoticon used to convey a mixture of sadness and frustration or anger. The symbol represents a face with tears streaming down its cheeks and an upward curved mouth that can be interpreted as either a smile or a frown, depending on the context. It is often used in online communication, such as social media posts, messaging apps, and forums.
