How to Type the Shrug Emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ in One Go

Before emojis were a thing, we had emoticons. The shrug emoticon, in particular - ¯_(ツ)_/¯, emoted a variety of sentiments, depending on the context. Whether you feel melancholic, slightly aggravated, apathetic, or simply baffled, it covers it all. And for those who wish to continue reliving the golden age that is the early 2000s, here is how you can always type out the shrug emoji by using text replacement instead of having to copy and paste or write out all 11 characters, every single time.

By doing so, whenever you typed out the specified text, the shrug emoji will be displayed instead. If you are on an iPhone, you’d have to go to Settings and General instead of System Preferences. Otherwise, the method of adding text replacement for the shrug emoji is essentially the same.

Surprisingly, this is also very similar to how you would type it out via an Apple device.

You still copy the emoji, go to Settings, but instead, switch to Language & Input, Languages, and then there will be an option for you to add a shortcut for ¯_(ツ)_/¯. And lastly, if you are wondering how one can type out this lovely emoticon - you can’t. But on the bright side, you could also save it onto a sticky note onto your desktop, if that’s not too tedious. We shall update you as soon as we find a solution, as we are also keen on doing so on Windows machines.
