FAQ

What is the shrug kaomoji?

The classic shrug kaomoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ shows raised arms and a smiling face (the katakana 'tsu', ツ), meaning 'I don't know' or 'whatever'.

Is ┐(´・ω・`)┌ different from ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?

Yes — they share the raised-arms shape but carry different moods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is a neutral 'I don't know / whatever'. ┐(´・ω・`)┌ has a downturned, worried face (´・ω・`), so it reads as a more helpless or resigned shrug — closer to 'there's nothing I can do'.
