Comment (by Otto42):

 For reference, markdown treats these characters as special, and thus a
 single backslash can be used to escape them.

 {{{

 \ backslash
 ` backtick
 * asterisk
 _ underscore
 {} curly braces
 [] square brackets
 () parentheses
 # hash mark
 + plus sign
 - minus sign (hyphen)
 . dot
 ! exclamation mark
 }}}
