java – Illegal Escape Character

java – Illegal Escape Character

The character is a special character and needs to be escaped when used as part of a String, e.g., . Here is an example of a string comparison using the character:

if (invName.substring(j,k).equals(\)) {...}

You can also perform direct character comparisons using logic similar to the following:

if (invName.charAt(j) == \) {...}

Use \ to escape the character.
