The ◡ (lower half circle) symbol is a geometric shape representing the bottom half of a standard circle. Because of its distinct upward curve, internet users frequently feature it in text-based kaomoji and emoticons to create a cute, minimalist smiling face. Beyond social media messaging, designers occasionally use it as a decorative typographical element or an abstract icon representing a bowl.
