You still did not get it...

A backslash is used to quote the following character so it transforms
it into a non-printable character. For example:

"\t" is a tab (ONE character, ascii 9)
"\b" is a backspace (ONE character, ascii 8)
"\a" is a bell character (ONE character, ascii 7)
"\e" is an escape (ONE character, ascii 27)

AND

"\\" is a backslash (ONE character, ascii 92)

I don't know what else to write...
