Might be covered under Stock Visual Metaphors or Manga Effects. Briffits and Squeans might also cover it.

Alertness Blink here, I think? Sometimes Confused Question Mark depending on the exact emotion?

Cool, thanks! I think Manga Effects covers the general run of the type of things I'm thinking of. Good to know about.
A sort of visual indicator as seen in this image that shows a character's emotions (happiness/contentment in the case of this image), typically seen an anime or anime style work? (Actually the video game The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III in this case, but I feel like I've seen this type of thing also in other works that are either anime or have an anime sort of look.)
