The "〈(゜。゜)" emote or "Circle face" emote is a Japanese emoticon used to express shock, surprise, confusion, or disbelief. It consists of a circle with two dots for eyes and a downward-facing angle bracket for a mouth, with a small dot or circle above the eyes to indicate sweat or stress. The tilted eyes convey a sense of disorientation or bewilderment. The emote is commonly used in online conversations, particularly in Japanese culture.
