Rendered webm of error

SUMMARY
Using the typewriter effect for a Title Clip the backslash character \, displays, and renders as either a closing bracket } when alone, or does not display or render at all when preceded by another character.
Attempted to add the "shrug" special characters  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, instead displays, and renders as ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tested on a new project, on multiple versions and operating systems.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create New Title Clip. 
2. Text: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3. Turn on Typewriter Effect

OBSERVED RESULT

Looks like the \ is interpreted as the escape character. Try using \\ and see whether that shows at least one \

Double backslash does solve the issue for both Closing Bracket } when alone, and missing character when not.
