25# You can also optionally escape tabs with \t for readability purposes.

27# You can also use Unicode escape characters (maximum of four hexadecimal digits).
28# In the following example, the value for "encodedHelloInJapanese" is "こんにちは".
29encodedHelloInJapanese = \u3053\u3093\u306b\u3061\u306f
30# But with more modern file encodings like UTF-8, you can directly use supported characters.
