What is the Escape Backtick in Go

by

In Go, you cannot directly include a “backtick character (`)” within a raw string literal, as raw string literals are enclosed in backticks and don’t support escape sequences. To include a backtick character in a string, you can use an interpreted string literal enclosed in double quotes (“) and concatenate it with raw string literals.

Example

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
  // Using double quotes and concatenating with
  // raw string literals to include a backtick
  text := `This is a string with a backtick: ` + "`" + ` included.`
  fmt.Println(text)
}

Output

This is a string with a backtick: ` included.

In this code, we created a string containing a backtick character by using a raw string literal enclosed in backticks and concatenating it with an interpreted string literal enclosed in double quotes that have the backtick character. This way, we can include the backtick character in the resulting string.
