The "( / ω＼ )" emote, also known as the "Shameful and Cute" emote, is a popular Japanese emoticon used to express a mixture of embarrassment, shyness, and cuteness. It typically consists of a person or animal with closed eyes and blushing cheeks, bending forward with their arms and hands forming a diagonal line across their body. The emote is often used in online conversations, particularly in anime and manga fandoms.
