Following the recommendation of Gleen. By the way let me recommend you a
good e-book when it comes to C#, which can be a good start for any
one, Illustrated C# 2008 by Daniel Solis, on which C# presented clearly,
concisely, and visually published by Apress.
This following is from CHAPTER 8 EXPRESSIONS AND OPERATORS page 198
Character Literals
A character literal consists of a character representation between two
single quote marks. A character representation can be any of the following:
a single character, a simple escape sequence, a hex escape sequence, or a
Unicode escape sequence.
- The type of a character literal is char.
- A simple escape sequence is a backslash followed by a single character.
- A hex escape sequence is a backslash, followed by an upper or lowercase
x, followed by up to four hex digits.
- A Unicode escape sequence is a backslash, followed by an upper or
lowercase u, followed by up to four hex digits.
For example, the following code shows various formats of character literals:
Some of the important special characters and their encodings are shown below
char c1 = 'd'; // Single character
char c2 = '\n'; // Simple escape sequence
char c3 = '\x0061'; // Hex escape sequence
char c4 = '\u005a'; // Unicode escape sequence
