The "˵╹ᵕ╹˵" emote or "A Cute Smiling Face" emote is a text-based emoticon that represents a cute, happy expression. It consists of two small circles for eyes and a curved line for a smiling mouth, surrounded by two sets of parentheses or brackets to create a face shape. The upward curve of the mouth and the blushing cheeks created by the surrounding symbols give the impression of a warm, friendly smile.
