Writing text in python with $ character

Question

I am writing as markdown the following:

cost_1 = 28 [$/units/year]
cost_2 = 30 [$/units/year]

and when I print it, because the "$" is a special character, I am obtaining the following:

cost_1 = 28 [ /𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠/𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟]𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡2=30[ /units/year]

How should I write it in order to use the "$" as a regular character in the text?

Answer 1

Try writing \ in the beginning of the character.

cost_1 = 28 [\$/units/year]
