To deactivate the format specifier % in emacs-lisp, you can escape it by using a backslash before it (\%). This will prevent it from being recognized as a format specifier and will treat it as a regular character. For example, if you want to insert the string "10%" in a buffer, you can use the following Emacs Lisp code:

(insert "10\\%")

This will insert the string "10%" in the buffer.
