String.format throws incorrect format exception when there is an extra } in the string. What is the best way to resolve this?

Question

String.format throws incorrect format exception when there is an extra } in the string as shown in the snippet below

 var input = "1";
 var data = string.Format(@"{0}}", input);

I was able to resolve the issue by adding an extra } as shown below

var data = string.Format(@"{0}}}", input);

However I need to know if there is any better solution to this issue
