In Yakuza 6, former idol Haruka is looking at an online article about how, as
a surrogate daughter of a yakuza, she was spotted in an orphanage in Okinawa.

One of the comments on the article says "だれか凸お願いします♪". I'm wondering what 凸 is
supposed to mean here? I have a feeling it's some kind of internet slang.

Here's a picture for context: [![picture of

What does 凸 mean here?
It means _to contact directly_. More specifically, _to make a phone call, make
a visit, talk to_. It derives from identifying 突{とつ}撃 and 凸{とつ}.

The usage of 突撃 means an 'attack' in a figurative sense: abruptly being talked
to or called by unknown people is considered sort of aggressive. More
traditionally, on TV, 突撃レポート means a reporter making unexpected visits to
someone or talking to people on the street (supposedly without appointments
etc.).

People doing 凸 are sort of paparazzi. It looks like the particular sentence
says 'Please someone visit there in person (and tell me what happens)'.
