Except double slashes makes the underscores disappear.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So… it looks like adding a slash before the slash and before each underscore does the trick. Thanks!

Markdown uses underscores for italic, which is why they also need to be escaped with backslashes.

Although I know this, I cannot remember where I need to escape. So I just have two custom autocorrections: shrug which yields the regular (and broken on Lemmy) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ for general use and shrugmd with the markdown variant for the use on e.g. Lemmy: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In the end it’s:
shrug: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
shrugmd: ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
