# Explanation ##

There are two different ways to represent string literals in the Go spec1: raw string literals and interpreted string literals.

Raw strings are enclosed in backticks.  **Interpreted strings** are enclosed in
quotes. In raw strings, `\` has no special meaning, so the `\t` is two characters,
backslash, and the letter t. If it were an interpreted string, `\t` would be interpreted as the tab character.
Apart from the usual `\t` (tab), `\n` (newline), and others, we can use Unicode
code points in interpreted strings. For example, `fmt.Println("\u2122")` will print `™`
.

Raw strings are commonly used to create multiline strings.
