Steve,
The Unicon book (at unicon.org) page 37 has table of escape codes and
character that can be used in strings in Unicon. From what I see in your
example Unicon ignores the undefined escaped characters and just deletes the
backslash. However \d is Control-D which is being replaced in the string
below.
