C# Escape Unescape

C# string escaping is the process of adding backslashes before special characters in C# string literals to ensure they are interpreted correctly by the C# compiler. This is essential for .NET development when working with strings that contain quotes, backslashes, or control characters.

Why C# string escaping is important:

• Prevents compilation errors when string literals contain quote characters that would otherwise terminate the string
• Allows inclusion of control characters like newlines, tabs, and null characters in string literals
• Essential for creating properly formatted C# code when generating code programmatically
• Required for handling Windows file paths that contain backslash characters
• Necessary for regex patterns and other strings that contain backslash sequences in .NET applications
• Supports Unicode character representation using \uXXXX and \xXXXX escape sequences

C# supports several escape sequences including \" for double quotes, \' for single quotes, \\ for backslashes, \n for newlines, \t for tabs, \0 for null characters, and \uXXXX for Unicode characters. C# also supports verbatim strings (@"...") which disable escape sequence processing. Our tool handles all standard C# escape sequences for regular string literals.
