Ah, the shrug. Can any other gesture match its level of nonchalance? If youâre a big shrugger in real life, youâll be thrilled to know youâve got options for saying âI dunnoâ onlineâmake some noise for the 𤡠(shrug) emoji and the ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ (shruggie) kaomoji! In this article, weâll review exactly what they both mean and how to reply to them on social media or over text, plus how to make a text shortcut to the ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ kaomoji to make virtual shrugging a breeze. Letâs dive in!
Things You Should Know
- The 𤡠emoji can mean âI donât know,â âI donât care,â or âI give upâ (just like how you might shrug in real life to express indifference or exasperation).
- The ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ kaomoji means the same thing as the 𤡠emoji, but is usually used and interpreted with more sarcasm or irony.
- To type the ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ kaomoji quickly, copy and paste it from a web browser or save a text replacement in your phone or computer settings.
