Check in the online LabVIEW help under "Backslash ('\') Codes Display"
In "\" Codes Display, byte values/characters in the string which are
non-printable appear in the form of "\xx" where xx is the hex value
for the byte/character =85
with a few exceptions which haven't changed since LabVIEW v1 or v2
(since ASCII code hasn't changed):

\r  for \0D (Carriage return),  \t  for \09 (Tab),  \b for \08
(Backspace), \n for \0A (Line feed), \s for \20 (space), \\ for \5C
("\" character itself).

Type "\20\0A" into a string control that's config'd in "\" Display,
hit enter and it'll change itself to "\s\n".

A string "000D 2001 4142 FF1C FA26" in Hex Display
is "\00\r\s\01AB\FF\1C\FA&" in "\" Display

The usefulness of "\" display is apparent if you ever need to have a
string constant of just "\s" on the block diagram.
