Unable to put a literal * into visualizer

Depending on the number of * it behaves differently. Escaping it doesn’t seem to help either

Still relevant today. My preferred solution is to allow opting out of Markdown. Like Andrew I would rather make it an opt-in thing, but we have shipped with Markdown processing always applied. We can’t remove that.

would using RichTextBlocks with the markdown support solve this ?

You mean RichTextBlocks without markdown support, and yes that would solve it, but that’s a less-ideal way of solving it. We simply need to have a property on TextBlock that lets you disable markdown.
