You need 3 backslashes:
Backslashes are escape characters:
Zero would convert it underscore italics
¯ (ツ)/¯
apparently the ¯ cancels the italics on it's own so I had to add a space to demonstrate...
One cancels the underscore _italics_
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Two just cancels the escape to the underscore \italics
¯\(ツ)/¯
Three, finally cancels the escape to the escape to the underscore \_italics_
