Shrug copy & paste
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is shrug, a plain-text Unicode symbol built from several characters from the Latin-1 Supplement and Basic Latin and Katakana blocks. On Aesthetic Symbols it lives in the kaomoji & emoticons collection. As plain text it takes on the font and colour of wherever you paste it — a bio, a username, a caption or a stream title.

Plain-text characters from blocks that mainstream desktop and mobile fonts have covered for years. These are the safe ones.
Worked out from how each character is encoded, not from a test on a real device.
