How do I escape 3/4 so that it doesn't become ¾?

I have a list of dates in short American format, for example
* 3/2 One event * 3/4 Another Event * 3/6 Another Event Unfortunately, Discount wants to convert 3/4 into ¾, and I'd much rather it not. I've tired putting a backslash before each number, and that just results in the string plus the backslash, so it's not doing any escaping.

Any ideas? Thanks!

    I don't currently have a preference for turning off smart typography in
    Discount, and I can't find a way to effectively escape 3/4 either. You
    can use MultiMarkdown, but if you need Discount, I'll need to work in a
    preference to toggle a flag for smart typography across the board.
