What character escape sequences are available?
C# defines the following character escape sequences: • \’ – single quote, needed for character literals • \” – double quote, needed for string literals • \\ – backslash • \0 – Unicode character 0 • \a – Alert (character 7) • \b – Backspace (character 8) • \f – Form feed (character 12) • \n – New line (character 10) • \r – Carriage return (character 13) • \t – Horizontal tab (character 9) • \v – Vertical quote (character 11) • \uxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxx • \xn[n][n][n] – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value nnnn (variable length version of \uxxxx) • \Uxxxxxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxxxxxx (for generating surrogates) Of these, \a, \f, \v, \x and \U are rarely used in my experience.
