** Escape Character
#+cindex: escape character
#+cindex: zero width space
You may sometimes want to write text that looks like Org syntax, but
should really read as plain text. Org may use a specific escape
character in some situations, e.g., a backslash in macros (see [[*Macro
Replacement]]). In the general case, however, we suggest to use the
zero width space. You can get it with one of the following:
: C-x 8 <RET> zero width space <RET>
: C-x 8 <RET> 200B <RET>
For example, in order to write =[[1,2]]= as-is in your document, you can
write this, where =X= denotes the zero width space character:
: [[X1,2]]
