The "(๑´• .̫ •ू`๑)" emote, also known as the "Not Okay Face" emote, is a Japanese-style emoticon that typically represents a feeling of discomfort, unease, or awkwardness. It features a face with closed eyes and a slightly downturned mouth, with a blush or sweat drop symbol often added to emphasize the emotion. The emote is commonly used in online communication, particularly in chats or forums, to express feelings of embarrassment, disappointment, or dissatisfaction.
