Strings can be escaped with the backslash character.

You can use the following string escape sequences:

| -------- | -------------------------- |
| `\n`     | New line                   |
| `\r`     | Carriage return            |
| `\t`     | Tab                        |
| `\'`     | One single-quote character |
| `\"`     | One double-quote character |
| `\\`     | One backslash character    |
