I came across this answer

The answer listed two escape sequences:

\\033 - AaronDigulla referred this as octal type of escape sequence.

• What type of escape sequence the other one \ is?
• Are there different types of escape sequences? If yes are they listed somewhere?

Answer 1

Those starting with '\\u\u0026#39; are in unicode . Yes, there are some escape types. Off the top of my head, you can also use octal \\0... and hexadecimal \\0x... .

List of javascript escapes types:
