About
The Person Shrugging emoji (🤷) is the digital equivalent of throwing your hands up and saying 'beats me!' It's your go-to when you're genuinely clueless, pretending not to care, or just want to convey that perfect mix of 'I don't know' and 'not my problem.' This emoji has mastered the art of plausible deniability—sometimes you really don't know, and sometimes you just don't want to deal with it.
