In this article, we would like to show you escape characters and how to insert them into the string in JavaScript.

Quick solution:

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

const text = 'Hello\tWorld!';

console.log(text); // Hello   World!

 

Practical example

In this example, we use backslash to escape double quotation marks and create a quote inside the text string.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

const text = "\"This is my quote.\"";

console.log(text); // Hello   World!
