# Understanding and Using Escape Characters

In programming, an escape character is a symbol used to represent special characters or to change the typical meaning of characters within a string.

Escape characters are composed of a backslash (`\`) followed by certain character(s).

<br />

## Common Escape Characters

- `\n`: New Line

- `\t`: Tab

- `\\`: Backslash

- `\"`: Double Quote

- `\'`: Single Quote

```python title="Example of Using Escape Characters"
print("Python\nProgramming Study!")  # New line

print("This is\ta tab.")  # Tab

print("She said: \"Hello!\"")  # Double Quote
```

In Python, `\n` is used to represent a line break within a string. Escape characters are used to represent special characters or to change the general interpretation of characters.
