The "★~(◡﹏◕✿)" emote or "Almost Crying Wink" emote is a combination of different symbols and characters that form a face with a teardrop and a wink. It is often used to express a range of emotions, such as sadness, disappointment, or sympathy, with a touch of humor or irony. The stars around the face may symbolize sparkles or an optimistic outlook despite the tears.
