They allow you to include special characters in strings that would otherwise be challenging to incorporate. Escape characters are denoted by a backslash (<code>\\<\/code>) followed by the character you want to insert. Let&#8217;s dive into the intricacies of escape characters and how they can be harnessed to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_Usage_and_Common_Escape_Characters\"><\/span><strong>Basic Usage and Common Escape Characters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the heart of escape characters lies their ability to insert characters that have a special meaning in <a href=\"https:\/\/sahaldecode.com\/python-strings\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sahaldecode.com\/python-strings\/\">Deep Dive into Python Strings<\/a>.
