The man shrugging emoji signifies uncertainty or indifference in a male figure.
With both shoulders raised, it’s often used to express that a man doesn’t know or doesn’t care about something.
You might send it when you’re conveying a lack of knowledge involving a man or when you want to indicate that something is not important.
Compared to 🤷♀️woman shrugging , this one feels more focused on men, making it perfect for those moments of gender specificity.
