If we define control characters as non-graphic, or as having a special meaning for an output device (e.g. printer or text terminal) then any escape character for this device is a control one. But escape characters used in programming (such as the backslash, "\") are graphic, hence are not control
The backslash is used in the TeX typesetting system and in RTF files to begin markup tags. In USFM, [22] the backslash is used to mark format features for editing Bible translations. In caret notation, ^\ represents the control character 0x1C, file separator. [23] This is entirely a coincidence and has nothing to do with its use in file paths.

Windows, DOS, and older minicomputers used Control-Z for this purpose. 3 Control-G is an artifact of the days when teletypes were in use. Important messages could be signalled by striking the bell on the teletype.
In C and many derivative programming languages, a string escape sequence is a series of two or more characters, starting with a backslash \. [3]Note that in C a backslash immediately followed by a newline does not constitute an escape sequence, but splices physical source lines into logical ones in the second translation phase, whereas string escape sequences are converted in the fifth ...
Select, copy, and paste the character using the GNOME Character Map. If not already installed along with GNOME, it is usually available as "gucharmap" (which can be installed with "yum install gucharmap" as root on a Redhat-like Linux distribution, for example). In KDE, a similar application is named "KCharSelect".
In computer programming, leaning toothpick syndrome (LTS) is the situation in which a quoted expression becomes unreadable because it contains a large number of escape characters, usually backslashes ("\"), to avoid delimiter collision.
In logic, a set of symbols is commonly used to express logical representation. The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics.
