 * |
 *   u([0-9A-Fa-f]{4}) - second alternative; matches the 4-digit hexadecimal escape sequence (\uABCD)
 * |
 *   x([0-9A-Fa-f]{2}) - third alternative; matches the 2-digit hexadecimal escape sequence (\xA5)
 * |
 *   ([1-7][0-7]{0,2}|[0-7]{2,3}) - fourth alternative; matches the up-to-3-digit octal escape sequence (\5 or \512)

 *   (['"tbrnfv0\\]) - fifth alternative; matches the special escape characters (\t, \n and so on)
