Emojis are fine, but I still prefer emoticons - I feel like they have more flair ^_^

I am not 100% sure but I think it some formatting thing where you need to put 2 of them for it to display like this:

¯ \(ツ)/¯

Because the backslash is an escape character:

  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯_(ツ)_/¯
  • ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯\(ツ)/¯
  • ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ -> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    • Explanation:

  • the backslash is used to escape the underscore.
  • the first backslash escapes the second backslash, so it’s shown as a backslash. The pair of underscores is used to display the characters between in italics
  • both the backslash and the first underscore are escaped, everything finally works
