<p>The escape character, <code class="code">\</code> by default, is always followed by at
least one more input character, making an escape <em class="emph">sequence</em>. Any
input token <code class="code">\<var class="var">X</var></code> with <var class="var">X</var> not in the list below emits a
warning and interpolates glyph <var class="var">X</var>. Note the entries for <code class="code">\.</code>,
which may be obscured by the leader dots, and for <code class="code">\<kbd class="key">RET</kbd></code> and
<code class="code">\<kbd class="key">SP</kbd></code>, which are sorted alphabetically, not by code point
order.
