Symbolic Character Escape Sequences
This is a list of all the sequences allowed in character and/or string literals. The last 3 columns indicate which kinds of literals support a given sequence. ' is for characters; " and """ are for strings. The other 2 delimiters for characters - ''' and ` - don’t support escape sequences at all, therefore they are omitted from the table.
Sequence Unicode Description ' " """ {{char}} {{string}}
