The list of available escape symbols is this one, from What character escape sequences are available? (by Jon Skeet):

\' – single quote, needed for character literals
\" – double quote, needed for string literals
\\ – backslash
\0 – Unicode character 0
\a – Alert (character 7)
\b – Backspace (character 8)
\f – Form feed (character 12)
\n – New line (character 10)
\r – Carriage return (character 13)
\t – Horizontal tab (character 9)
\v – Vertical quote (character 11)
\uxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxx
\xn[n][n][n] – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value nnnn (variable length version of \uxxxx)
\Uxxxxxxxx – Unicode escape sequence for character with hex value xxxxxxxx (for generating surrogates)

If the one you need isn't directly available as a simple escape code, you can use the hexadecimal escape. In your case, for example, \x0E for 14 or \x15 for 21. As stated in Jon Skeet's comment: it's better to use the Unicode version, i.e. \u000e and \u0015.
