For those who might previously have gone “(＠_＠)” or “¯\_(ツ)_/¯” when they heard this word, here it is all explained: <http://kaomoji.ru/en/>. So now you can be all “\(^ヮ^)/” instead. Actually I came across that word in this article <https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/windows-10-will-make-it-easier-to-%c2%af%e2%88%96_%e3%83%84_%c2%af-and-%e2%95%af%e2%96%a1%e2%95%af/>, which reports that Windows 10 will make it easier to enter these character sequences.
