Bug: Markdown Escaping Special Characters

It is not possible to escape the character* `‘’*, for example. In the editor, if*‘*’` appears twice, the text becomes italic.

After the text is published, it is displayed correctly. However, if you edit the text again, the escape character ‘\’ is gone.

Example:

In German, we sometimes use ‘*’ within a word. If this occurs twice in a text, the text between the two ‘*’ becomes italicised.
The escape character ‘\’ should actually prevent this from happening.

German: Zuhörer*innen und Zuschauer*innen renders as:

Zuhörerinnen und Zuschauerinnen.
