Escape sequences in C# string

To escape curly brackets in a format string in C#, you can use double curly brackets "{{" and "}}" to represent a single curly bracket. For example:

string formatString = "{{ This is a {0} with curly brackets }}";
string resultString = string.Format(formatString, "test");
Console.WriteLine(resultString); // output: { This is a test with curly brackets }

To escape double quotes in a string, you can use the backslash "" character before the double quote. For example:

string str = "This is a \"test\" string.";
Console.WriteLine(str); // output: This is a "test" string.

To convert an Unicode string to an escaped ASCII string in C#, you can use the System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex class to match and replace non-ASCII characters with their escaped ASCII representation. Here's an example:

string unicodeString = "Hello, ����!";
string escapedAsciiString = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(unicodeString, @"[^\u0000-\u007F]", m => "\\u" + ((int)m.Value[0]).ToString("X4"));
Console.WriteLine(escapedAsciiString); // output: Hello, \u4E16\u754C!

In this example, the Regex.Replace method matches any non-ASCII character using the regular expression pattern [^\u0000-\u007F], which matches any character that falls outside of the ASCII range. The match is then replaced with the string "\\u" followed by the hexadecimal representation of the character using the ToString("X4") method.
