This was easy to copy and paste! Now if I could just have a similar site for shrug (not pasting because it's a pain) which I use more often than le Lenny face.

Here you go: http://shrug.land

Just add a bookmarklet with this, and C-c the alert:

    javascript:alert("¯\\_(ツ)_/¯");

If you use prompt it comes pre-selected:

    javascript:prompt("copy", "ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ");

This is what the Text replacements gizmo in System Preferences and Settings on iOS was born to do. Also useful: systemwide emoji shortcodes a la Slack. :thumbsup:

This is an alias I have, very useful!

  alias shrug='echo "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" && echo -n "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" | xsel -b -i'

Aside from the other links provided, if you want to find that macro, you can search for "sup son" which seems to be its origin.

I set up \/ to be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ on my iPhone and laptop via a dictionary replacement. Non technical and persists across multiple devices.

I see that you don't write regex very often. :)
