It is a special character, usually '\', used before other character which are meaningful to neutralize their special meaning. For example, if you want to declare a string, you use double quotes - "This is a string". But if you want your string to contain double quotes as regular characters, you have to escape them. "I am: \"a true!\" sololearner." If you didn't escape them, the string would be: "I am: " and all characters after that would be ignored (or most likely would raise an exception).
