The "| _・)" emote, also known as the "Glancing Face" emote, is a Japanese kaomoji that represents a sideways glance or a shy expression. It is composed of a vertical bar, an underscore, a small circle, and a closing bracket, forming a face with closed eyes and blushing cheeks. The emote is often used to convey shyness, embarrassment, or a sense of being caught off guard.
