The "(>ლ)" emote or "Facepalm Boy" emote is a popular internet meme featuring an image of a young boy with his hand on his forehead in a facepalm gesture. The emote is typically used to express frustration, embarrassment, or disappointment in response to a situation or comment. It originated from a photograph of a Japanese child actor named Ryoma Ito and has since been widely shared and adapted in online communities.
