U+1F937 · emoji since 2016
The shrug is the universal who knows. Plans fell through? đ€·. Why is the printer broken? đ€·. It communicates no idea, not my problem, or it is what it is, all hands up and palms out.
It's wonderfully low effort, which is the point. Some questions don't have answers, and this emoji is the most honest reply to all of them.
In texting, đ€· does not carry a widely used hidden or slang meaning, so you can usually take it at face value. People send it just as it looks, to add a little visual touch or set the mood of a message. Only a handful of emoji have a separate texting code, and đ€· is not really one of them.
Its official Unicode name is the Person Shrugging emoji. In everyday chat most people just call it the person shrugging emoji or describe what it shows. Copy and paste it from the button at the top of this page.
The đ€· leads off a short phrase, and the rest of the words are written in cipher, every letter disguised as another emoji. Tap decipher to reveal the whole line.
