    You gotta put a \ before the asterisk to cancel out the mark-up, like this: \*

    (I used a second \ to cancel out the usual effect in the example. Fun fact, that cancellation is why the "shrug emoticon" sometimes loses an arm.)

    I love markdown and stuff but also I'm sad I can't use "carat underscore carat" happy emoticons anymore because it mangles them lol.

    No escapes:

    Slash escapes like that neat trick up there...

    Not even code block can save it.
