The "ヽ ༼ ຈ ʖ̯ ຈ ༽ ﾉ" emote, also known as the "Forest Figures" emote, is a combination of Japanese katakana and ASCII characters that creates a face with raised eyebrows and a mouth that appears to be a mix of a smile and a frown. It is often used in online communities to express a variety of emotions, including confusion, discomfort, or mischief. The origins of the emote are unclear, but it gained popularity on Twitch and other gaming platforms in the early 2010s.
