The Tildes formatting help doc isn't really meant to be a complete spec sheet AFAIK; It's just a quick guide to help those unfamiliar with markdown learn the very basics, and cover all the features unique to Tildes. I doubt the majority of users will ever need to know about backslash escaping, but for those who do, it's covered in detail in the GFM specs:
And as for the shrug emoji code specifically, I don't think that is nearly important enough to be worth specifically mentioning in the Tildes docs, since it's just a quick and dirty fix to a common problem experienced on reddit.
But with that said, I am not the final arbiter here, the Tildes docs are open to contributions, and anyone with wiki editing permission can submit changes to them via the individual ~tildes.official wiki pages, which @Deimos can then decide whether to accept or not. So if you feel particularly passionate about writing documentation and including those in the Tildes docs, feel free to PM him to ask for permission to do so. :)

This feature does not seem to be mentioned in the Formatting help.
I would also mention using the backslash to escape special characters.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
