: Perhaps even worse, it may not be what the person wanted to know. It is
more
: likely that he wanted to know about the equivalent of the C escape
characters
: like \n, \r, \a, \t, \oxXX, etc.

Character     C_Escape_Sequence     Ada_Equivalent
"     \"     "" or Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Quotation
'     \'     ' or Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Apostrophe
?     \?     ? or Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Question
\     \\     \ or Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Reverse_Solidus
BEL     \a     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.BEL
BS     \b     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.BS
FF     \f     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.FF
NL     \n     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.NL
CR     \r     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.CR
HT     \t     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.HT
VT     \v     Ada.Characters.Latin_1.VT
octal     \ddd     Character'Val(8#ddd#)
hex     \xhh     Character'Val(16#hh#)

For Ada83 compilers, ASCII can be used in lieu of Ada.Characters.Latin_1 in
most cases (with Query for Question and Back_Slash for Reverse_Solidus).
