How do I escape the '{' and '}' characters in an AutoHotKey script?

I'm trying to write a simple auto-replace script but can't find how to insert the '{}' characters.
The usual escape characters (backtick ` or backslash ) don't seem to work for curly brackets.
e.g.

:co:drf::$(document).ready(function(){space}`{`n`});{Left}{Left}{Left}{left}

gives

$(document).ready(function() );

rather than

 $(document).ready(function() { });

Encase your curly braces with curly braces. This prompts AutoHotkey to send the raw character.

{{} {}}
