The "|๏ᴥ๏|" emote or "Squared Koala" emote is a popular ASCII art representation of a cute and cuddly koala bear. It is often used in online communication to express feelings of cuteness, happiness, or affection. The emote consists of a square face with two round ears, a small nose, and two large eyes that convey a sense of innocence and playfulness. The vertical bars on either side of the face represent paws or arms, giving the impression that the koala is hugging or holding onto something.
