The shrug emoji is a popular image used to convey confusion or emphasize a question.
There’s no denying the power emojis have when it comes to boosting engagement and emphasizing communication.
Sometimes you just need a symbol to get the point across, and emojis serve that purpose.

However, it’s worth noting the shrug emoji wouldn’t exist without its predecessor, the shrug emoticon.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Though emojis have come a long way, I’m still a big fan of typed emoticons.Emoticons bring me back to simpler times when my phone still had a physical keyboard and AOL Instant Messenger was my main method of communication.Those were the days.
If you still have an affinity for typed emoticons like me, especially the ¯_(ツ)_/¯ emoticon, here’s how you can type it in two seconds flat on a Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android.
The shrug emoticon is one of the more intricate emoticons to type, so most people resort to copying and pasting it from a website, like CopyShrug.
But copying and pasting the emoticon is really only a good option if you use it sparingly.If you’re an avid user of the shrug emoticon, you’ll need to keep revisiting the website to copy and paste it, which is a relatively slow and annoying process, especially on your mobile phone.
To type the shrug emoticon as fast as possible, we recommend creating a text replacement shortcut with your device’s autocorrect feature (which might be the first time autocorrect actually comes in handy for you).
1.
Copy “¯_(ツ)_/¯”
2.Go to System Preferences
3.Click Keyboard
4.
Press Text
5.In the Replace box, type “shrug”
6.In the With box, paste “¯_(ツ)_/¯”
1.
Copy “¯_(ツ)_/¯ “
2.Go to Settings
3.
Press General
4.Tap Keyboard
5.Choose Text Replacement
6.Select the “+” button
7.
In the Shortcut field, type “shrug”
8.
In the Phrase field, paste “¯_(ツ)_/¯ “
2.From your text message keyboard, tap the three dots
3.Go to Settings
4.
Tap Dictionary
5.On a Google Pixel, press Personal Dictionary; using a Samsung device, tap Text Shortcuts
6.
Select your language
7.Select the “+”
8.In the Shortcut field, type “shrug”
9.Tap the ” ¯_(ツ)_/¯” that shows up on the keyboard
There you have it! A quick and easy shortcut to help you type the shrug emoji in no time.
