Many classes, including {{Pattern}} and those that support {{XML}} and {{SQL}} based actions by passing {{String}} arguments to methods, allow inclusion of escape sequences in character and string literals. According to the Java Language Specification \[[JLS 2005|AA. Java References#JLS 05]\], sectionSection 3.10.6, "Escape Sequences for Character and String Literals": |
The character and string escape sequences allow for the representation of some nongraphic characters as well as the single quote, double quote, and backslash characters in character literals (§3.10.4) and string literals (§3.10.5).
