What is the shrug emoticon?

Also called “shruggie,” it's a kaomoji that shows a person shrugging, built from a katakana “tsu” (ツ) face and arms made of backslashes and macrons. It spread widely in the 2010s and is now a go-to way to express indifference or “oh well.”

How to use it

Tap a version to copy — it's text, so it works the same on Discord, Reddit, Twitch, Twitter/X, and SMS. Tip: when you paste it somewhere that uses a backslash for formatting (like some chat apps), use the double-backslash version ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ so it doesn't get cut off.

FAQ

How do I type a shrug?

Don't type it by hand — tap a version above to copy it, then paste. The arms and face aren't on a normal keyboard.

Why does my shrug lose an arm?

Some apps read the backslash (\) as a formatting character and drop it. Use the double-backslash version ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.

Where can I use it?

Discord, Reddit, Twitch, Twitter/X, Instagram, SMS — anywhere that supports text.
