"\"" is a string that contains the double quote character
"\t" is a string that contains the tab character,
"\r\n" is a carriage return and a line feed character (the windows new line character sequence)
these are so called escape sequences
so to use the \ as raw character u would need to escape it as well "\\", basically by escaping the escape character (the backslash)
or u can use a verbatim string literal, this means that escape sequences are disabled: @"\"
this is all assuming u hardcoded that string in ur code,
if this isnt the case u have to give more details how u get that stringwhat font are you using in your editor?
