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
2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
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)

2 ¯\(ツ)/¯ - unescaped ITALICS

3 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - OK (first italics escaped)
33 20 c2 af [5c 5c] [5c 5f] 28 e3 83 84 29 5f 2f c2 af 0a
3 ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ - doubled

Ah, so there's a non-printing character in there. It's weird that the person making a demo to explain it made that mistake.
I just look up "shrug text emoji" and copy pasta that lol 😂
Here you go, this is how to make it appear properly in markdown: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
It will appear as this when you paste it: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks though I don't seem to be having any issues, looks fine on kabin!
Oh my bad, I keep forgetting how differently the fediverse can look in different instances!
No worries I appreciate the help!
It's often used to escape a character that would otherwise be interpreted as code. So you should be able to use two in a row to escape the escape. \
