About escape character

In computing and telecommunications, an escape character is a character that, based on a contextual convention, specifies an alternative interpretation of the sequence of characters that follow it. The escape character plus the characters that follow it to form a syntactic unit is called an escape sequence. A convention can define any particular character code as a sequence prefix. Some conventions use a normal, printable character such as backslash or ampersand. Others use a non-printable character such as ASCII escape.
