Emojis need proper scaping (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Only example (this was injected with the emoji feature that pops up when writing in summit. I know that doubling the backslash fixes it by escaping the backslash itself): ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I can search the code and make a PR with the change, I feel bad asking to fix such a small thing. I can also open an issue later today if it's preferred but I can't right now sorry.

I think one needs to triple the backslash in this case. One for the forearm, one to escape the forearm, and another to escape the upper arms, whose underscores would otherwise be interpreted as itallics markdown.

Edit: I realize that my use of "upper arms" may have been ambiguous. I am referring to the anatomical "upper arm" segments, not the typographical "upper arm" segments, which I interpret as anatomical "wrists" or "hands".

Nah, you only need a single escape:

¯_(ツ)_/¯ - not escaed

¯\(ツ)/¯ - escaped

\¯\(ツ)/\¯ - your suggestion.

You are right that the middle one italizes the emoji, but it doesn't seem like you can escape that.

Sure you can: ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Renders as: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh you meant escaping the first underline so the italize doesn't trigger of course. Ok I'm stupid you are right.
