Just like on reddit, the escape character is a \. You can easily remember this by thinking of all the shrug emoticons that were missing their arm, like so: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ because the backslash wasn't itself escaped.
So, if you want to type a character that normally results in formatting, precede it with a blackslash.
\*checks notes* results in *checks notes* instead of checks notes.
Edit: This comment was confusing to format. haha
Hey, thanks very much for this info! And yeah I'm sure it was not trivial to format haha
