The short answer

A grinning face mid-stride with both arms swinging. Leaving quickly, running late and cheerful escapes.
Background
Where it comes from
The arms are ᕕ and ᕗ, letters from Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, and the face is ᐛ from the same block. It is one of the clearest examples of kaomoji borrowing an entire writing system for its shapes alone.
