How to print a literal '.' as the first character in a line?

I'd like to be able to print a '.' in a document, and it happens to be at the start of a line. I've read there's a way to change the request character from '.' to some other character, but is there any simpler way to do that?

Simple (and a bit stupid) example:

[
.EX
$ echo '.'
.
.EE
]

You get the idea, I guess.
Ho do I do that?

Thanks,

Alex
