Hi Org Mode:

I'm trying to escape an asterisk character, i.e. "*" to use in regular
text. I.e., "The person wanted to say *BSD". And I don't want to use a
verbatim or code block because monospace is not what I need.

I've tried \* to escape the character and it doesn't work. I'm on Org 8.2.5h.

Thanks in advance.
