Variants

Verbatim

The literal is written verbatim, e.g., a or .

Punctuation

The literal is written as an escape because it is punctuation, e.g., \* or \[.

HexFixed(HexLiteralKind)

The literal is written as a hex code with a fixed number of digits depending on the type of the escape, e.g., \x61 or or \u0061 or \U00000061.

HexBrace(HexLiteralKind)

The literal is written as a hex code with a bracketed number of digits. The only restriction is that the bracketed hex code must refer to a valid Unicode scalar value.
