The "¯\_(σل͜σ)_/¯" emote is commonly known as the "shruggie" or "smug shrug" and is used to convey a sense of confusion, indifference, or not knowing the answer to something. It can also be interpreted as a form of nonverbal communication indicating that the person does not want to express an opinion or take a stance on a particular issue.
