The (>ლ) emote, also known as the Hand Hide emote, is a popular emoticon used to express shyness, awkwardness, or embarrassment. It features a hand with the index finger and thumb forming a "L" shape, with the rest of the fingers hidden behind the palm. The angle of the hand gives the impression that the person is hiding their face or peeking out from behind something.
