Appendix C Escape Sequence Index
********************************

The escape character, '\' by default, is always followed by at least one
more input character, making an escape _sequence_.  Any input token '\X'
with X not in the list below emits a warning and interpolates glyph X.
Note the entries for '\.', which may be obscured by the leader dots, and
for '\' and '\', which are sorted alphabetically, not by code
point order.
