C# defines the following character escape sequences:

• \' – single quote, needed for character literals
• \" – double quote, needed for string literals
• \\ – backslash
• \0 – Unicode character 0
• \a – Alert (character 7)
• \b – Backspace (character 8)
• \f – Form feed (character 12)
• \n – New line (character 10)
• \r – Carriage return (character 13)
• \t – Horizontal tab (character 9)
• \v – Vertical quote (character 11)
• \uxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxx
• \xn[n][n][n] – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value nnnn (variable length version of \uxxxx)
• \Uxxxxxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxxxxxx (for generating surrogates)

Of these, \a, \f, \v, \x and \U are rarely used in my experience.
