Forum Formatting Shrug Fix
Redstoner → Other → Forum Formatting Shrug Fix
Hands up who’s noticed that the ASCII shrug looks weird on our forums? I know I have! Some time ago I worked out a way to make it appear normal, and I figured it might be helpful to share it.
Here’s what the original looks like
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh no, he’s missing a forearm!!
And here is my fixed version (basically just give him an extra forearm on his right/your left and add a space either side of his head):
¯\\_ (ツ) _/¯
Outside of the code block, it looks normal. You’re welcome. ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
You figured out escaping. This works on all characters with a special meaning, not just the backslash itself, so if you want a literal underscore, insead of underlining text, use a backslash, then an underscore. Or backslash, then asterisks. Or anything else you would need to escape :)
Yeah, I figured it would probably work similarly with other stuff, but enough people on the forums don’t seem to realise it exists at all… hence all the amputee shrugs :S
