How to get a variable of type char to have a value of ' in c#

Question

A bit of a dumb one... but how do I get a variable of type char to have a value of '?

e. g.

char c = ''';
char a = 'A';
char b = 'B';

Answer 1

char c = '\'';

the backslash is called an escape character.

and if you want a backslash it's

char c = '\\';

Here's some more for good measure:

• \t - tab
• \n - new line
• \uXXXX - where XXXX is the hexadecimal value of a unicode character
