Now as WhatsApp offers options for bold, Italic & strike-through text, how not to make the text bold while still enclosing it in *. Any kind of escape character?
For example:
*test* will result in test (bold).
I want to send a phone-recharge number as *127*123456789#, but it goes as 127123456789# (127 as bold). Is there any escape character to keep * as * instead of it making text bold?
Best Answer
You could send it as code using three back-ticks, similar to formatting code here on StackExchange:
*word* = word
```*word*``` =
*word*(Note: it will use a monospace font).
