    You dropped this \

    Short explanation: Type ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ to see ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    Long expanation: Lemmy supports formatting, like _italic_ becomes italic. To stop this from happening, you can put a \ before it like \_; the \ isn’t shown. This is why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ becomes ¯_(ツ)_/¯. To show a \ you need an additional \ like so: \\, and to make sure _ is shown and not turned into italic, it too needs \. This is why ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ becomes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Alternatively, you can just use the `` enclosure, used for single line code.
      That is a “grave accent” or a “backtick”, the key you will find on the left of the ‘1’ key and under the ‘Esc’ key on a standard (ISO, maybe) 104/105 key qwerty keyboard.

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      The backslash is known as an escape character in this context, because it removes (escapes) the special meaning of the following character.

      It’s also used that way in most Unix shells.
