Other Special Characters in Python

To use a special character, you first put “\” in front of the character and then can use a number of different characters to add these special characters to a string.

Some special characters in Python include newlines, carriage returns, and quotes.

The newline character is “\n”, carriage returns are “\r” and quotes can be made with “\”” or “\'”.
