Used to ask for favors, express admiration, or show that you are touched by a situation. It is frequently employed in internet culture as a way to act harmless or 'cutesy' when making a request. Users often pair it with 👉👈 to emphasize shyness or with 😭 to dial up the emotional intensity of a message.
History
