"(っo◡o)っʕᵔᴥᵔ♡ʔ" is a cute and friendly emote that typically conveys happiness, love, or affection. It consists of a face with round eyes, a small mouth, and bear-like ears and snout. "He's picking a bear" emote is not a commonly recognized emote. It is possible that it refers to an image or meme where someone is depicted choosing or selecting a bear, but without additional context, it is difficult to provide a more specific explanation.
