### Support escape sequences in string literals

May 9, 2025 · [@dominiklohmann](https://github.com/dominiklohmann) · [#5187](https://github.com/tenzir/tenzir/pull/5187)

String literals in TQL now support Unicode escape sequences like `\xHH`, `\uHHHH`, `\UHHHHHHHH`, and `\u{...}`. Additionally, the named escape sequences `\r`, `\b`, `\f`, `\v`, `\a`, and `\e`, are now supported in addition to the previously supported `\n`, `\t`, and `\0`.

TQL now supports literals for blobs through the `b"..."` syntax (or alternatively `br#"..."#`). Blobs are a sequence of bytes that unlike strings do not need to hold valid UTF-8, and can as such represent any binary data.
