When I tell someone something and in response I get only "deshyo?!" or "deshyo!", what does this imply? "I've told you so", "That must be so"?

    I contend the duplicate claim. This question asks for でしょう when used alone. The answers to the other questions use でしょう as part of the sentence.

Depending on context, it could mean those things you said, but the simplest way to parse deshou is "right?" or "I know, right?"

(specifically in response to something you've just said, as mentioned in your question)
