I'm trying to understand the concept of an escape number. Could someone explain what it is and possibly provide some examples or contexts where it might be used?

After the 'x', there are one or more hexadecimal digits ranging from 0-9, A-F, and a-f.

An octal escape sequence, on the other hand, utilizes up to three octal digits.
