⁽⁽◝(ˊʂ˴⁎)◞՞ｶ"ｸｯ

The whole face looks tilted, as if the body just jerked sideways on one beat. The left eye, ˊ (MODIFIER LETTER ACUTE ACCENT), is a short stroke rising to the right, set high near the top of the parentheses. The right eye, ˴ (MODIFIER LETTER MIDDLE GRAVE ACCENT), slopes the other way and, true to the "middle" in its name, sits lower, beside the upper part of ʂ. So the left eye is up and the right eye is down, and the arms follow suit. On the left, ◝ (UPPER RIGHT QUADRANT CIRCULAR ARC) climbs from beside the parenthesis and bends over to the left: an arm flung up. On the right, ◞ (LOWER RIGHT QUADRANT CIRCULAR ARC) swings out from the bottom of the face and curls upward: an arm thrown low. Both arcs come from the right half of a circle, so they bulge the same way, like a body twisting mid-move. The mouth is ʂ (LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH HOOK), the IPA letter for the "sh"-like sound of Mandarin sh or Polish sz, made with the tongue tip curled back. It is an s whose lower end keeps going below the baseline and curls right into a hook that reaches about as low as the bottom of the parentheses, a wobbly, twisted mouth. On the right cheek, ⁎ (LOW ASTERISK) sits right down on the baseline instead of floating up where * usually goes, like a bead of sweat flung off by the jolt. The two small raised parentheses at the upper left, ⁽⁽ (SUPERSCRIPT LEFT PARENTHESIS), are motion lines, and ՞ (ARMENIAN QUESTION MARK), which Armenian writes over the vowel of the word being asked about, hovers like a tiny swirl at the very top of the line, up past the end of the right arm. After the face comes a sound effect in halfwidth katakana: ｶ"ｸｯ. A plain " (QUOTATION MARK) after ｶ (ka) stands in for the voicing mark ﾞ, turning it into ga, then come ｸ (ku) and a small ｯ that chops the sound off: "gaku!" In Japanese, ガクッ is the sound of something giving way all at once: knees buckling, a head dropping as you nod off, spirits sinking. The " here is two straight, tall strokes, much longer than the two slanted ticks of a real ﾞ. Compare ⁽⁽◝( •௰• )◜⁾⁾ on this site, which bounces with both arms up: this one has no ⁾⁾ on the right and swaps the raised ◜ for the lowered ◞, as if the dance just jolted out of shape. We came across it only once, in a Twitter (now X) post from July 28, 2014 by someone who posted kaomoji collections. Use it for stiff robot moves, for a dance that went sideways, or for laughing off a small letdown.
