vBulletin formatting escape character
 

I want to display a capital U inside square brackets.

But if I put a capital U inside square brackets, it gets displayed as lower case, like this: [u].

I believe this is because it is interpreted as the underline formatting command, without a matching /U command.

Is there an "escape" character in vBulletin which can be used to tell vBulletin to treat the [u] as a literal?

I don't know of a specific "escape" for VBCcode, but you already know the trick for fooling vBulletin into doing formatting the way you want. Quote this response to see how I used that trick to put a bracketed uppercase [U] into it.

Heh, apparently [noparse][/noparse] tags don't work. Either way, they're still really useful!
