              Try this:

              \> : |

              That should come out as:

              > : |

                I don’t get it.
                Are you replying to “Except fun fact…no.” - u/[email protected]
                Or to my reply to it, that implies, maybe their renderer is non-standard and causing the backslashes to not work.

                \>\>:| --> >>:| works pretty well for me.

                  this is a whole mess of confusion and miscommunication that probably absolutely no one cares about, and I for one am happy to just watch

                  That shows up as two sets of eyebrows for me.

                    I see, so the confusion is about whether u/[email protected] intended the double eyebrow or they made a mistake with that and are being corrected for it.

                    I thought they wanted the double eyebrow, because why would you put 2 if you only wanted one? And if you wanted the “quote” option, you would just not escape the leftmost “>”.


                    In case my above words are more confusing, Yes, it shows up as 2 sets of eyebrows for me too.
                    I thought that’s what the Thread Starter wanted.
