How to escape "@" in markdown on bitbucket wiki

Anyone know how to escape the @ character in markdown on BitBucket wiki? In my case @ is immediately followed by the word which happened to be someone's user name, i.e. @blahblah. What I've tried so far:

\@  
'@  
&\#64;  

but none of those works. Shielding is just ignored, and when I'm using a character code, it just outputs it as is.

It sounds strange, but you can insert an invisible character between @ and text (e.g. zero width space).
