= Solution

The <Cauchy-Riemann equations> give $\nabla v=(-u_y,u_x)$. Therefore
$$
\boxed{\nabla u\cdot\nabla v=-u_xu_y+u_yu_x=0.}
$$
The <gradient> is normal to a regular <level set>, so these curves intersect orthogonally wherever their <gradients> are nonzero. At a <stationary point>, where both <gradients> vanish, a regular curve tangent need not exist; the algebraic identity remains valid.
