The "ʘ‿ʘ/" emote, also known as "the big-eyed child" emote, is a text-based emoticon commonly used to express innocence, surprise, or cuteness. It consists of a circle for the face, two dots for eyes, and a curved line for the mouth, creating a facial expression with large, wide-open eyes and a slight smile. The emote has become popular in online communication, particularly in chat rooms, forums, and social media platforms.
