In Python 3, how do you use """ and escape sequences?

[Mobo01]

I'm currently studying Python and wanted to try all of the escape sequences, however my code appears to have a fault. Could you please assist me in locating it?

My Code:

string = """backslash - \\\nsingle quote - \'\ndouble quote - \"
ASCII bell - \a Lorem
ASCII backspace - \b Lorem
ACII formfeed - \f Lorem
Unicode - \N{prabhu} Ipsum
Carriage return - \r Ipsum
16 bit Hex value - \u1234
32 bit Hex value - \U12345678 ASCII Vertical tab - \v
Octal value character - \123
Hex value - \x12 
"""

print(string)

Output:

Error: SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 137-146: unknown unicode character name

Hi @Mobo01,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

These forums are for technical support, bug reporting, work/resource sharing and discussions relating to the Affinity apps - and are not the place for other questions regarding Python.

I would recommend a more generic site for this, such as Stack Overflow.

I have locked this thread to prevent further replies, and we ask that you do not continue to make such posts here on the Affinity Forums.

Many thanks for your understanding!
