This article could really use a few examples of WHAT exactly an escape character would look like in various programming languages. I mean, otherwise it could be difficult for the laymen to understand what exactly is meant here.
Would someone add some code samples please? Mzanime 17:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
The following ought to be added to this article at some point. Derek farn 16:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
The C# language offers a special notation called @-quoting, where an @ symbol is placed before the opening quotation mark of a string literal. Escape sequences in an @-quoted string are not processed, so that (for instance) the backslashes in @"C:\Foo\Bar\Baz\" are interpreted as backslashes and not as escape characters. Similarly, quotation marks may be included in an @-quoted string by doubling them: @"I said, ""Hello there."""

The escape key is part of the MS-Windows UI -- forms use it to replicate clicking the close or cancel button.

Sometimes you wonder whether such entries are intentionally obfuscated. Need it be an incantation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Breezeclimber ( talk • contribs) 04:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Seems a lot of this article ( Escape character) is probably more suited to the Escape sequence article. Perhaps the two could even be merged together; I’m not sure. Vadmium ( talk, contribs) 10:12, 8 December 2012 (UTC).
OK, what is the Wikipedia escape character? I need to write out some things that are normally processed as tags. Seems like this page should include that. Gah4 ( talk) 13:50, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
