How does one use a literal "{{" in a Mustache template?

On a side note, if I'm using custom tags, like <% and %>, is there a way to write "<%"?

Theoretically, I could use different tags, but I have too much code written using {{ and }} to change it all.

Just change the delimiters temporarily:

{{=<% %>=}}
{{Look at the curlies!}}
<%={{ }}=%>
