Bear kaomoji here use rounded side characters around a snout-like center. A plain face can sit beside a bear-themed greeting; an added outer character suggests a paw or wave. These are character arrangements, distinct from a bear or teddy-bear emoji.

Rounded bear faces
Keep the outside characters and central snout together.
Greeting gestures
A face with a paw-like addition.
Keep the rounded silhouette
Replacing ʕ and ʔ with ordinary parentheses makes a different outline. The central ᴥ also matters: it is the snout-like visual cue that distinguishes these faces from many smiling text expressions.
Choose the unaccented face if you want a simpler construction. The marked eyes in ʕ•̀ᴥ•́ʔ include combining accents, so preserve the complete copied text.
Add the action outside the face
A trailing ﾉ in ʕ•ᴥ•ʔﾉ supplies a paw-like wave cue. The reaching examples use kana on both sides of the outline. Keep the outside character when copying a gesture.
Unicode provides the identities of the Latin letters, kana, and marks. The bear and paw roles are visual interpretations made by the arrangement.
Sources and references
Unicode supports the Latin-letter and combining-mark identities. Bear, snout, and paw readings are editorial interpretations of text art, without standardized animal-face meanings.

Examples in context
Quick FAQ
Are the outside characters parentheses?
No. ʕ and ʔ are different Latin letters. Their rounded shapes frame the bear-like face, and the copied value preserves them.
Can I use the bear face as a wave?
Use the gesture group when you want that reading, and add a greeting in words. A plain face alone does not specify an action.
