Japanese speakers help please?

Is anyone able to recognise the kanji in this picture? I tried to look for it but I wasn't lucky :/ Never mind the hiragana.

    It's 嘘.  Read uso, meaning a lie. https://jisho.org/search/%23kanji%20%E5%98%98

    嘘でしょ!!? literally means "It's a lie, isn't it?" but is usually translated as

    "No way!"

    "No kidding!"

    "You must be joking!"

    or something along those lines.

    You say "嘘でしょ" when you hear something hard to believe.
