Special Characters in Javascript

Below list of some special characters,

Character Description

\b                            Backspace
\f                            Form feed
\n                            New line
\r                            Carriage return
\t                            Tab

\uNNNN                    A unicode symbol with the hex code NNNN, for instance \u00A9 – is a
                                    unicode  the copyright symbol ©. It must be exactly 4 hex digits.

\u{NNNNNNNN}     Some rare characters are encoded with two unicode symbols, taking up to 4                                           bytes. This long unicode requires braces around it.

alert( "\u00A9" ); // It will print you copyright symbol.

alert( "\u{1F60D}" ); // It will print you smiley symbol.

All special characters should start with backslash \'.

Example I :

let specialList = "Specials:\n * One\n * Two\n * Three";

alert(specialList);

//Output: Specials:

* One

* Two

* Three

Example II :

alert( 'I\'m the World!' ); // I'm the world!

we have to prep-end the inner quote by the backslash \'. Else javascript will consider that as string end. So that we should add backslash.


Example III :

alert( `Adding backslash symbol: \\` ); // Output : Adding backslash symbol: \

To add backslash symbol in your string add lie above.
