    Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    So… it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!

      Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.

        Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections: shrug which yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use and shrugmd with the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        In the end it’s:

            shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
    shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
