    I’m actually color blind, so I don’t see anything. But the comments tell me that it’s the loss comic. Which means I should probably go do something else ¯\(ツ)

        You actually gotta triple backslash.

        Enclosing any text between _s tells markdown rendering that you want it to be italicized. Putting a \ behind a markdown character tells the renderer to _ignore that,_ and render the character as normal.

        ¯_(ツ)_/¯

        But \ is a markdown character, so when you double backslash, the first \ tells the renderer to ignore the second \, and the _s act as normal, italicizing the face.

        ¯\(ツ)

        So you gotta triple backslash. The first \ tells the renderer to ignore the second \, and the third \ tells the renderer to ignore the _

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
