Shrug Kaomoji questions
What does ¯_(ツ)_/¯ mean?
A shrug: the ツ katakana character is the smiling face, and ¯_ _/¯ are raised arms with upturned palms. It signals cheerful indifference — who knows?
Why does my shrug lose its arm when I paste it?
The backslash is an escape character in some apps, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯ can lose a on paste. If your shrug arrives broken, paste it with an extra backslash or use a variant like ┐(´～｀)┌ that avoids the problem.
