you can escape those by putting a , in front of them. You may have to type
C-q , to get it put in if you see strange messages about user-error:
Priority must be between ‘A’ and ‘C’.

In fact org-mode will do that for you if you are in special edit mode when
you exit it. You may not be able to use C-c ' to get into this mode though
with the * in the block until you put , in front of them.
