<p><a name="index-string-constants-142"></a><a name="index-constants_002c-string-143"></a>A <dfn>string</dfn> is written between double-quotes. It may contain
double-quotes or null characters. The way to get special characters
into a string is to <dfn>escape</dfn> these characters: precede them with
a backslash <span class="samp">\</span> character. For example <span class="samp">\\</span> represents
one backslash: the first <code>\</code> is an escape which tells
<span class="command">as</span> to interpret the second character literally as a backslash
(which prevents <span class="command">as</span> from recognizing the second <code>\</code> as an
escape character). The complete list of escapes follows.

<br><dt><kbd>\ </kbd><var>anything-else</var><dd>Any other character when escaped by <kbd>\</kbd> gives a warning, but
assembles as if the <span class="samp">\</span> was not present. The idea is that if
you used an escape sequence you clearly didn't want the literal
interpretation of the following character. However <span class="command">as</span> has no
other interpretation, so <span class="command">as</span> knows it is giving you the wrong
code and warns you of the fact.
</dl>
<p>Which characters are escapable, and what those escapes represent,
varies widely among assemblers. The current set is what we think
the BSD 4.2 assembler recognizes, and is a subset of what most C
compilers recognize. If you are in doubt, do not use an escape
sequence.
