LaTeX has its own syntactic conventions. Curly braces must be escaped
with backslash, and certain operators (^ in particular, which also
affects ^^) will cause syntax errors, because they are metacharacters
with a different meaning. All of them need to be properly escaped.

You may be able to use \begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim} (which
doesn't suffer from the trailing brace problem) but you can't use it for
inline spans of text.
