The "ʕ/　·ᴥ·ʔ/" emote, also known as the "Hands up bear" emote, is a popular internet meme featuring a bear with its paws raised in the air and a cute, happy expression on its face. It is often used to convey feelings of joy, excitement, or playfulness in online conversations. The emote originated from a Japanese character called Shirokuma Cafe and has since become widely popular across various social media platforms.
