The "\(o ᴥo )/" emote, also known as "Happy dog wants a hug," is a text-based emoticon that depicts a cute and cheerful dog face with wide-open eyes and a big smile. It is often used to express happiness, excitement, or a desire for affection or attention. The two round brackets represent the dog's ears, while the "o" and "ᴥ" symbols depict its eyes and snout, respectively.
