Appendix C Escape Sequence Index

The escape character, \ by default, is always followed by at least one more input character, making an escape sequence. Any token \X with X not in the list below emits a warning and interpolates character X. Note the entries for \., which may be obscured by the leader dots, and for \RET and \SPC, which are sorted alphabetically, not by code point order. See Using Escape Sequences.
