In Japanese internet culture, (￣‥￣) is a go-to face for the 'I don't care, but I do' vibe , it's like a passive-aggressive shrug that says, 'I'm here, but not really involved' in online arguments or debates

At work, (￣‥￣) can be the look you give when you're done with a meeting that's going nowhere , it's the face of someone who's mentally checked out but physically stuck there, arms crossed and sigh in their eyes
