The "(˶◕‿◕)/(◕ᴥ◕V)" emote or "Stroking A Dog" emote is a combination of two different emoticons. The first part, "(˶◕‿◕)", represents a person's face with closed eyes and a happy expression, as if they are smiling and feeling content. The second part, "(◕ᴥ◕V)", depicts a dog's face being petted, with its tongue sticking out in a playful manner. Together, the emoticon conveys a sense of joy and affection towards dogs.
