When an \character{r} or \character{R} prefix is present, a character
following a backslash is included in the string without change, and \emph{all
backslashes are left in the string}. For example, the string literal
\code{r"\e n"} consists of two characters: a backslash and a lowercase
`n'. String quotes can be escaped with a backslash, but the backslash
remains in the string; for example, \code{r"\e""} is a valid string

backslash remains in the string; for example, \code{r"\e""} is a valid string
