It is therefore now possible to use arbitrary bytes in -strings, like for example `NUL` (`\0`) and other ASCII control characters. See -the chapter about [*Strings* in *Syntax*](Syntax.md#strings) for more -details. - -Potential backwards compatibility issue: Any valid escape sequence according to -the new rules will be interpreted as an escape sequence instead of the literal -characters. Previously only the following escape sequences were supported in -single-quote strings: `\'`, `\\` and `\n`. - -Note that the behaviour of triple-quoted (multiline) strings has not changed. -They behave like raw strings and do not support any escape sequences. |
