How to escape org-emphasis marker? Yank excluding the markers?

* How do you escape org-emphasis marker? Not sure if this is the intended use of `verbatim`, which has its own face defined, whereas escaping org-emphasis marker treats it a regular text you don't want emphasized. I guess I can disable the face for verbatim, but that means losing a default marker. * Assuming `org-hide-emphasis-markers` is enabled, is there a way to yank the text without the emphasis-markers as is? In Evil, yanking the emphasized text includes the markers. Thanks!
