# How do I print curly-brace characters in a string while using .format in Python?

To print a curly brace character in a string while using the `.format()` method in Python, you can use double curly braces `{{` and `}}` to escape the curly braces.

For example:

```python
print("{{example}}".format())
```

This will print the string `{example}`

You can also use the `%` operator instead of `.format()`

```python
print("%{example}".format())
```

This will also print the string `{example}`
