"OwO" is an emoticon representing a cute face often used to express curiosity, surprise, or excitement. The two "O"s resemble open eyes, while the "w" looks like a cat's mouth, giving the emoticon a playful, affectionate, or cute expression. It is commonly associated with internet subcultures like the furry fandom and anime communities, sometimes used to denote cuteness or to troll playfully. This emoticon is a variant of "uwu," where "uwu" shows closed eyes instead of open eyes. "OwO" can also be used in playful roleplay or to convey expressions like curiosity or perplexity.
