Also, NULL is not a character. Do you mean NUL (byte with value of 00)? I suspect the escaping that you're referring to is escaping to allow certain characters to be represented in a programming language string. That's different than escaping characters that are actually stored in the database; for the latter, characters are stored as is with no escaping. But since you don't specify what documentation you mean, it's difficult to answer your question definitively
