Scarface glasses

The "(ﾒ▼ _ ▼)" emote, also known as the "Scarface glasses" emote, is a Japanese emoticon that typically represents a feeling of disappointment or frustration. It features two small eyes with downward-facing eyebrows and a mouth that appears to be frowning or grimacing. The addition of the glasses on top of the eyes has led to its nickname, which references the character Tony Montana from the movie Scarface who famously wore similar glasses.
