You can insert a zero width space character (U+200B), to prevent that
segment is fontified as emphasis [see the Manual in the section `Escape
Character']. It is enough with insert the character after one of the
asterisks: M-x insert-char RET 200b RET. I also recommend that you look
at this section on Timothy's blog `This Month in Org':
