Simple escape sequences (such as `"\\"` for a backslash), hexadecimal escape sequences (such as `"\x0041"` for an uppercase A, and Unicode escape sequences, such as `"\u0041"` for an uppercase A, are interpreted literally. Only a quote escape sequence (`""`) is not interpreted literally; it produces a single quotation mark. The following example defines two identical file paths, one by using a regular string literal and the other by using a verbatim string literal. This is one of the more common uses of verbatim string literals.
