change tags. remove "about".

Answer 2

It's used as an escape character. Some letters have special use and some dont. For example, \n is special, as it makes a new line. Although, it's called an escape character because some character's can be used prior to their usual behaviour. For example, this string is completely fine: "Welcome to: \"CodingLand\"" and it means: Welcome to: "CodingLand", although theres quotes inside quotes.
