I've done the same thing in TWC (which also uses the @@...@@ format for 
inline CSS).  However, rather than using the somewhat obscure Unicode 
value, I just use an "empty" block of italics to achieve the same result... 
like this:
   @////@color:red; This is NOT red @@

I think that @////@ is easier to remember (and easier to type) 
than @⁠@
