The "(* >ω<)=3" emote or "Excited #17" emote is a text-based emoticon commonly used to express excitement, happiness, or cuteness. It features a face with closed eyes and a wide open mouth, with two upward-pointing triangles representing ears and a heart-shaped nose. The equal sign and number three at the end of the emoticon may represent blushing cheeks or indicate that the emoticon is giving a kiss.
