Supported Forms

Hexadecimal. \x3c for one byte, \u003c for a four digit code unit, and \u{1f600} for a full code point.
Octal. \074 up to three digits, which is how older C and shell strings are written.
Named escapes. \n, \r, \t, \b, \f, \v, \0, \a and \e, plus escaped quotes and backslashes.
Why this matters. Obfuscated payloads and log entries routinely hide the interesting characters this way. Decoding first is how you see the real string rather than a representation of it.
