The "\( -_- )" emote, also known as the "Not Glad Salute," is a Japanese emoticon that typically conveys a sense of resignation or disappointment. The backslash represents the arm, while the dashes and underscore represent the face with closed eyes and a neutral or slightly downturned mouth. It can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to express annoyance, boredom, or frustration.
