How can I stop Messenger bolding from putting * around text?

Question

At some point fairly recently, Facebook Messenger starting making things inside * symbols bold. For example, if I type:

 *Hello World!*

it shows up as:

Hello World!

How can I stop this happening on a case-by-case basis (ie. change it for an individual message, not remove the behaviour entirely)?

Typing \\\*Hello World!\\\* includes the backslashes, and \*\*Hello World!\*\* yields:

*Hello World!*

What exactly output you want? Hello World or *Hello World*\ or what? — sirajalam049, Commented Nov 20, 2017 at 18:32
