Begging emoticon, sorted by the hands
Palms pressed together puts 人 where the mouth would be. Hands together beside the face moves it just inside a bracket. Both hands held out gives each hand a character of its own, such as つ, っ or the Georgian letter ლ. Puppy eyes, no hands is the begging eyes emoticon: ◕ for each eye.
Please kaomoji with a Japanese word
The group With the word please adds one. お願い is used as the word for please, and 頼む means to ask someone to do something, both as Wiktionary gives them. Plain English is there too: pls, plz, just this once.

Questions and answers
How do you make a begging text emoticon?
Put 人 between two eyes inside round brackets: (´人`). The two strokes of 人 stand in for two palms pressed together. Change the eyes to change the mood: (T人T) streams with tears and (◕人◕) shines.
What does 人 mean in a pleading kaomoji?
人 is the character for person. In a kaomoji only its shape counts: two strokes that lean together like two hands. Between two faces the same character is read as joined hands, as on love kaomoji.
What is a puppy eyes emoticon?
A face with ◕ for each eye, such as (◕﹏◕). Unicode names the character Circle with all but upper left quadrant black: the white quarter reads as a shine on the eye. It needs no hands.
Is there a beg emoticon made only of keyboard characters?
Yes. (;_;) pls, (>_<) plz and (o_o) please? use plain keys only, and the group Keyboard only lists them. Pressed palms need 人, which is not on a US keyboard, so copy those.
Why does a begging kaomoji show an empty box?
A device with no font for a borrowed character draws a box in its place. The note under each tile names what is borrowed: ლ is a Georgian letter, and the accents that tip the brows up are combining marks.
