The entire internet is feeling pretty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ today.
In case you've been under a virtual rock lately, the "smugshrug (http://www.theawl.com/2014/05/the-life-and-times-of-%C2%AF_%E3%83%84_%C2%AF)" symbol (also k**wn as the "shruggie") has **nchalantly taken over. Although the unconcerned expression is **thing new (http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/kwybn/spotted_an_early_use_of_the_%252525E3%25252583%252 52584/), it's hard to scroll through Twitter (http://mashable.com/category/twitter/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) or Facebook (http://mashable.com/category/facebook/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) today without seeing someone expressing or relating with ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The emoji, of sorts, can mean anything from "IDGAF," to "IDK" or even a simple "whatever." Use it how you will.
