The Brief: The person shrugging emoji expresses uncertainty and indifference.
DEEP DIVE
This emoji is perfect for people who are acting lazy or who are not aware of a situation. A word-based definition would be “I don’t know” or “don’t ask me.” Another interpretation of this special character could be carelessness or a sense of forgetfulness. This emoji is related to the upside-down face emoji.
