You can insert one with any of the following: > > C-x 8 zero width space > C-x 8 200B > > For example, in order to write ‘[[1,2]]’ as-is in your document, you may write instead > > [X[1,2]] > > where ‘X’ denotes the zero width space character. https://orgmode.org/manual/Escape-Character.html#Escape-Character
