None of these work. I know there is a way because I've seen it before on Stack Exchange.

Note that SE uses markdown and HTML, not BBcode. This means that you should use <> angle brackets not [] square brackets when there is no appropriate Markdown formatting. — angussidney, Commented Apr 25, 2016 at 1:04

Thanks for the help, too. Turns out I was using [] instead of <>.

@JohnMiliter That's Unicode, not HTML.
