Wire for Mac (or Web) appears to be rendering messages differently than the native client on iOS.

Given:

• A message containing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

When:

• On iOS.

Then:

• The message shows up as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Given:

• A message containing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

When:

• On OS X or Web.

Then:

• The message shows up as ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Given:

---

Given:

• A message containing ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯.

When:

• On OS X or Web.

Then:

• The message shows up as ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Same thing for foo _bar_ baz, which shows up as foo _bar_ baz on iOS and as foo bar baz (with bar in italics) on OS X or the web.

---

The web app seems to have some basic support for markdown-flavored formatting, which the native client lacks.
