The following substitutions are made:

|!Character |!Replacement |!Condition |
|`\` |`\\` |Always |
|`"` |`\"` |Always |
|Carriage return (0x0d) |`\\r` |Always |
|Line feed (0x0a) |`\\n` |Always |
|Backspace (0x08) |`\\b` |Always |
|Form field (0x0c) |`\\f` |Always |
|Tab (0x09) |`\\t` |Always |
|Characters from 0x00 to 0x1f |`\\u####` where #### is four hex digits |Always |
|Characters from 0x80 to 0xffff|`\\u####` where #### is four hex digits |If `rawunicode` suffix is not present (default) |
|Characters from 0x80 to 0xffff|Unchanged |If `rawunicode` suffix is present <<.from-version "5.1.23">> |

<<.from-version "5.1.23">> If the suffix `rawunicode` is present, Unicode characters above 0x80 (such as ß, ä, ñ or 🎄) will be passed through unchanged. Without the suffix, they will be substituted with `\\u` codes, which was the default behavior before 5.1.23.

<<.note """Technical note: Characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, such as 🎄 and other emojis, will be encoded as a UTF-16 surrogate pair, i.e. with two `\u` sequences.""">>
