# [[Python Strings Escape]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
A backslash escape character lets illegal characters (like a matching quote mark inside a same-quoted string) appear literally, and covers a fixed set of special codes (`\n`, `\t`, `\\`, etc.). [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Escape character** — a backslash `\` followed by the character to insert literally. [S1]
- **Problem case** — a double quote inside a double-quoted string is illegal without escaping. [S1]
- **Fix** — `\"` inserts a literal double quote. [S1]
- **Other escape codes** — `\'` (single quote), `\\` (backslash), `\n` (newline), `\r` (carriage return), `\t` (tab), `\b` (backspace), `\f` (form feed), `\ooo` (octal value), `\xhh` (hex value). [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Illegal (raises error): `txt = "We are the so-called "Vikings" from the north."`. [S1]
- Fixed with escape: `txt = "We are the so-called \"Vikings\" from the north."`. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Escape a quote inside a same-quoted string (Python):
```python
txt = "We are the so-called \"Vikings\" from the north."
```
