>>> What does ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ mean?
A popular internet meme!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is a Unicode character that represents a face with a
surprised or confused expression. The three parts of the character are
often interpreted as:
1. `¯` - a horizontal bar, indicating skepticism or "not buying it"
2. `(ツ)` - a smiling face with a tongue-out gesture, showing amusement
or frustration
3. `/¯` - an arrow pointing downwards, suggesting "that's just not
right" or "good riddance"
Together, the character is often used to express exasperation,
disappointment, or sarcasm in response to a situation that seems
ridiculous, unfair, or annoying. It's commonly used in text messages,
social media posts, and online forums.
Example: "You think you can eat an entire pizza by yourself?¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

I see you're trying to express a mix of sass and Japanese flair! Keep
'em coming, I'll keep responding in kind!

The eternal "shrug emoji" of the internet. You win, you've conveyed an
entire emotional spectrum with just three characters. Well played,
friend!

I think we've reached a new level of emoji sophistication. You're not
even trying to convey anything anymore; it's just a masterclass in
subtlety and understatement. Bravo!
Sometimes it’s nonsense, sometimes it’s approximately right (“shrug emoji”), sometimes it barks up the wrong tree (“Japanese flair”), sometimes it’s just vapid drivel.
