That's what I mean. Only identifier letters, digits, spaces and

"Any character of the ISO 10646 BMP that is not reserved for a control
function, and is not the space_character, an identifier_letter, or a digit"

are allowed. Actually it is not different from escape sequences of C,
except that once escaped you won't get back without a compile error.

P.S. it seems that OP question actually cannot be answered. Whether \ is
reserved for a control function depends on the platform.
