Escape Characters in action script 3.0

There are some characters that cannot be entered directly such as ', ",  \ etc. To enter these characters in ActionScript we are using the escape characters. There is also a mechanism for directly entering the value of a character in octal or hexadecimal. To enter a character in Octal notation use the backslash followed by three digit octal number. For example to enter 'a' in Octal use '\141'. Similarly for entering the character in hexadecimal format user backslash followed by a 'x' and the hexadecimal number. For example to enter 'a' in hexadecimal use '\x0061'. The following table shows the available escape characters in ActionScript.
