Markdown formatting, \ is often used as what is called an escape sequence. I don't knew the rules for lemmy's markdown, just remember to add 2 \'s

    with the shrug emoticon you have to use 3

    the underscore is used for text formatting so you have to escape it and the back slash

    Oh dear. In my client, Connect, the 2 slash version looks right and the 3 slash version has a doubled arm. I suspect it's not rendering markdown correctly.

    Lemme try:

    ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Okay idk how to describe this, but those two text strings above are seemingly identical in plain text, but one renders correctly, the other incorrectly in my client. I feel like I'm being gaslit.

    Liftoff here, 2 is the right number... except in some comments where 3 works too unless it doesn't 🤷

    2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (second italics escaped)
