Where it comes from
The box-drawing corners ┏ ┛ ┗ ┓ form bent arms raised up and down, like a disco move, and ♪ are music notes. Two faces side by side show the dance in two steps.
When to use it
Use it to celebrate, hype up a party, or react to a favorite song. It is loud and silly, so it fits group chats and social posts, not formal messages.
Examples
- Exams are over, party tonight! ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪
- They're playing our song ♪┏(・o･)┛♪┗ ( ･o･) ┓♪

What it is made of
Every character in the face with its Unicode code point — handy if one shows up as a box on a friend's phone.
