As noted above, Luau implements support for hexadecimal (`\0x`), Unicode (`\u`) and `\z` escapes for string literals. This syntax follows [Lua 5.3 syntax](https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#3.1): -- `\0xAB` inserts a character with the code 0xAB into the string +- `\xAB` inserts a character with the code 0xAB into the string - `\u{ABC}` inserts a UTF8 byte sequence that encodes U+0ABC character into the string (note that braces are mandatory) - `\z` at the end of the line inside a string literal ignores all following whitespace including newlines, which can be helpful for breaking long literals into multiple lines.
