      In programming backslash can sometimes be used to enter special characters. Maybe Lemmy also follows this syntax? If so, typing two consecutive backslashes might help.

      Test with one backslash:
      Test with two backslashes: \

        Isn’t that just markdown? Eg wrapping with a star/asterisk italicizes. If you want to escape that you backslash.

        test in italics, made by wrapping with asterisks

        * = a backslash escaped asterisk
