Unicode 9 added a `:shrug:` emoji which I’d love to use right about now. [http://emojipedia.org/shrug/](http://emojipedia.org/shrug/) indicates that it’s available in all five of the standard sets available from Discourse (Apple, Google, Twitter, Emojione, Microsoft/Win10).

I’d love to see Discourse adopt all of the new stuff in Unicode 9.

For now, I’ll just have to copy and paste that katakana thing. ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯

P.S. Note that you can’t paste in ` ¯\_(ツ)_/¯` directly except in code blocks; you have to escape the backslash with ` ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯`
