The emote "¯\_(⚆‿⚆)_/¯" or "shruggie" is a popular way to express uncertainty, confusion, or lack of knowledge. It consists of a person shrugging their shoulders with raised eyebrows and a neutral mouth. The arms are represented by the characters ¯\_, while the face is made up of the symbols (⚆‿⚆). The emote is often used in response to a question or statement that the user cannot answer or does not have a strong opinion on.
