The "ಠ ▃ ಠ" emote, also known as "Forward Facing Anger #17," is a visual representation of disapproval or frustration. It typically features two eyes with raised eyebrows and a straight line for a mouth, which gives the impression of an intense stare or scowl. The emote has become popular in online communication, particularly on forums and social media platforms, as a way to convey strong negative emotions or reactions.
