Character escape sequences allow for a character to be interpreted differently than its literal value. Character escape sequences are defined using the backslash (\) character, followed by the escape sequence code. The following table shows a list of character escape sequences with a description of what they do.

Character Escape Sequence	Description
\b	Backspace
\f	Form feed
\n	New line
\r	Carriage return
\t	Tab
\u{hex}	Unicode escape sequence
\\	Backslash character. This is how a backslash can be treated as just an actual backslash character.
\'	Single quote. Define a single quote character so it is not treated as a character delimiter.
\"	Double quote. Define a double quote character so it is not treated as a string delimiter.
